Back to newsHealth authorities in Crete have extended preventive measures in response to ongoing vigilance around mpox (monkeypox). The measures are being maintained as a precaution to limit potential spread across the island. Tourists visiting Crete are not subject to any travel restrictions, but health officials recommend standard hygiene practices: regular handwashing, avoiding close contact with individuals showing skin lesions or flu-like symptoms, and seeking medical attention promptly if symptoms develop during or after your visit. The situation is being actively monitored by local health services. Visitors with concerns can contact the EODY (Greek National Public Health Organization) helpline or ask at their hotel for guidance on nearby medical facilities.
