Heavy rainfall early on Saturday led to roads and bridges flooding in the Cretan prefecture of Iraklio, ANA reports.
In Lasithi meanwhile, floodwater trapped several people in their homes, taxing the EMAK rescue services and regional firefighting services who received several calls.
Municipal crews were dispatched to take measures to avert further damage as more rain was forecast through on Monday.
The bad weather also caused problems in other parts of the country, with damage reported in the Peloponnese and blackouts in several parts of Attica including Neos Voutzas and Mati, the towns that were ravaged in last summer’s disastrous wildfires, as well as in Saronida, Keratea, Anthousaa, Porto Rafti and Kakia Thalassa.
