The regional governor of Crete, Stavros Arnaoutakis, has approved funding of 19.65 million euros for the construction of two new schools in Kissamos, a coastal town in the far west of Crete. The project covers a General High School and a Vocational High School, both built under the "Green Schools" initiative, which prioritizes energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable construction. Kissamos is a quiet, authentic destination popular with visitors exploring western Crete, known for its waterfront, ferry connections to the island of Antikythera, and proximity to the Gramvousa peninsula. This investment reflects ongoing regional development in the area but does not directly affect tourist access or services. Visitors to Kissamos can expect normal conditions.
