AustriaGreek authorities plan to relocate hundreds of asylum seekers rescued at sea off the coast of Crete to reception centers on the islands of Samos and Lesbos. The move aims to facilitate the identification, screening, and verification of these individuals before potential transfers to mainland facilities. According to the Ministry of Migration, this action will not place additional strain on the affected islands. However, local hoteliers on Lesbos have expressed concerns, prompting a crisis meeting with the mayor of Mytilini. Currently, Crete has only temporary accommodation for asylum seekers, but the ministry intends to establish a permanent reception center soon.
