Back to newsA new wildfire broke out in the Viannos area of eastern Crete, opening a second fire front on the island. Viannos is a mountainous municipality in the Heraklion regional unit, located inland from the southern coast. Authorities are responding to the blaze, which adds pressure to firefighting resources already managing other active fires across Crete. Visitors travelling through or near the Viannos area should monitor local conditions, follow instructions from authorities, and avoid mountain roads or rural tracks in the affected zone. Smoke may be visible from coastal areas to the south. Tourists with accommodation or excursions planned in the region should contact their providers for updates and check the Greek Fire Service (pyrosvestiki.gr) for current alerts.
