Greek coast guard authorities registered the arrival of 176 individuals from European Union and non-EU countries at the eastern Crete region of Lasithi. The group disembarked at a coastal location in the area, which covers destinations including Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Sitia. This type of maritime arrival is handled by local authorities and does not typically affect tourist activities or access to beaches and sites in the region. Visitors traveling to Lasithi should expect normal operations at ports and coastal areas. The eastern part of Crete remains fully accessible, with its well-known archaeological sites, scenic villages, and beaches open as usual.
