Crete - the latest news

Ticket price hikes to Spinalonga have halved the number of tourists

A month ago we reported on the introduction of a large increase in the price of tickets to one of Crete's biggest tourist attractions - Spinlonga, the former leper island. At the beginning of April, tickets went up from 8 to 20 euros, now it turns out that the drastic increase in prices has significantly reduced the number of visitors to this place.

The extraordinary beach of Kedrodasos

Kedrodasos is, in our opinion, one of the most beautiful Cretan beaches. Although it is located just a kilometer from Elafonissi, it is still a wild place without tourist hustle and bustle and beach infrastructure. Although Kedrodasos is still outside the area of interest of mass tourism, it is impossible not to notice that its popularity is slowly growing.

For more information on this stunningly beautiful place, check out this article . You can also see Kedrodasos in this video by Theofilos Bamboulis on Point of View GR.

A difficult start to the season for Cretan rescue services

From the beginning of 2025 to mid-June, 27 rescues were carried out on Cretan trails. 18 people were injured and 4 people unfortunately died from their injuries. Most of the people who needed help on the trails were hikers who ignored the weather conditions and their own fatigue, or underestimated the difficulty of the route. The majority of rescues took place in canyons, mountains and on isolated trails, and only one incident involved a beach in Crete.

New regulations on Greek roads

On June 11, the Greek parliament adopted a new Road Traffic Code by majority vote. The new, very strict regulations are intended to help combat the most common road traffic offences, such as speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol and using a mobile phone while driving.
If you have plans to travel to Greece by car or motorbike on your own this year, it is worth getting to know the new rules. They will apply not only to Greek citizens but to anyone driving on the roads there, and the Greek police will certainly be scrupulous in using the new law and the much higher tariffs.

Beware of unfair parking practices at Elafonissi

One of the Cretan portals has recently described unfair practices used by the owners of parking lots located on the famous Elafonissi beach.


Unfair practices were used by one of the parking lots located at the top of the Google Maps screenshot

More than 2 years ago, the Kissamos municipal council decided to implement regulations to protect the Elafonissi beach area. Specifically, it was about closing the former wild parking lot located right next to the beach, because this area actually belonged to a protected ecological zone. In a well-understood concern for the natural environment, the municipal authorities banned parking cars in this place, and from then on, tourists had to leave their cars along the asphalt road leading to Elafonissi. The situation was quickly exploited by enterprising businessmen, and private parking lots began to be built along the access road.

Blue Flags in 2025 - Greece maintains 2nd place

In 2025, Greece took second place in the world in terms of the number of beaches awarded the Blue Flag, thus reinforcing its very high position, second only to Spain. This year, the characteristic blue flags will fly on 623 Greek beaches, 17 marinas and 17 tourist ships. This prestigious distinction testifies to the highest standards of water purity, safety and availability of beach infrastructure. Crete, as a region of Greece, received a total of 153 awards: 145 for beaches and 2 for marinas.

 Czyli i tak wychodzą na swoje a tłumy mniejsze.
 Doceniam, kilka lat prowadziłem tam wycieczki z turystami. Znam na pamięć historię wyspy i doceniam jej walory, ale nie przeceniam po prostu.
 No to nie będą mieć tyle turystów ich problem chytry dwa razy traci
 Taa glownie te badziewne, masowe ,.smierdzace spalinami lajby zwane dla niepoznaki promami
Christian Arnidis - Moja Grecja  Oplata żadna. Kto ciekawy zobaczy, odrzuci za to tych co jadą dla zabicia czasu. Przychody wyższe , ludzi mniej.
 Byłam w tym roku na Krecie i faktycznie ceny biletów i taksa klimatyczna to szok 10Euro za dzień od pokoju lub 15 Euro za dzień od pokoju zależy standardu .
 P.s. tanio nie jest ale cena pozwoli wyeliminować ludzi, którzy biegają tylko jak idioci z aparatami i bez żadnej refleksji zaliczają kolejne miejsca, żeby tylko zaliczyć jak najwięcej miejsc. Później można się chwalić, gdzie się było. Ale o historii i kulturze etc, to już raczej nie będzie...
 Zanim się tam popłynie, warto przeczytać książkę. Zmienia się diametralnie podejście do tego miejsca a zwiedzanie staje się skłaniające do ciszy, zadumy i odkrywania tego smutnego miejsca. Byłem, olbrzymie wrażenie zrobiło na mnie przekraczanie zimnej bramy Dantego, ten chłód i towarzyszącą mu tajemnica tego miejsca, niebywałe. Smutek wyzierał z każdej szczeliny kamiennej. (...)
 A z czego wynikała tak drastyczna podwyżka?
 Nie byłam jeszcze na Wyspie. Cały czas w planach, ale jednak 20 EUR to gruba przesada, jak będę ponownie na Krecie to mocno się zastanowię. Zwłaszcza, że to tylko koszt wejścia a jeszcze koszt przeprawy ... W niższej cenie można zobaczyć Koloseum z przyległościami.

Ciekawe miejsca na Krecie
