Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited Crete to address the island's ongoing water scarcity issue, a growing concern affecting several regions during the dry season. The visit included discussions with local officials from the New Democracy party on measures to manage water resources and infrastructure. Water shortages in parts of Crete, particularly in rural and eastern areas, can occasionally affect accommodation and agricultural activity during peak summer months. Tourists staying in affected areas are advised to use water responsibly, follow any conservation guidelines posted at their accommodation, and check with local authorities or hotel staff if disruptions are expected in their region. The government's attention to this issue signals active efforts to manage the situation ahead of the busy summer season.
