Drowning remains a serious risk at Cretan beaches, particularly at unguarded spots or during strong sea conditions. Tourists are strongly advised to swim only at beaches with a lifeguard on duty, respect red or yellow warning flags, avoid swimming alone or in unfamiliar waters, and never underestimate sea currents. Children and teenagers should be supervised at all times near the water. Before entering the sea, check local beach safety ratings and current weather and sea state forecasts, especially during periods of strong winds such as the meltemi.
