Back to newsA large fire in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, has produced a toxic smoke cloud that is drifting south and reaching Crete. Authorities have raised alerts as the smoke spreads across a wide area of the country. Visitors in Crete may notice reduced air quality and hazy skies in the coming days. People with respiratory conditions, asthma, or heart problems are advised to limit time outdoors, keep windows closed during peak smoke hours, and carry any prescribed medication. Outdoor activities such as hiking or beach sports are best rescheduled until air quality improves. Monitor local news and the Greek civil protection agency (gscp.gr) for updates on air quality levels in your area of Crete.
