University of Crete cafeterias closed due to lack of bidders

Cafeterias at the University of Crete in both Rethymno and Heraklion remain closed due to a lack of interest from contractors during the bidding process. In Rethymno, one of the two cafeterias received no offers, prompting the university to prepare a new tender.

Giorgos Stamatopoulos, the Vice Rector for Infrastructure and Finance, stated that the university is aware of the situation and is working to resolve it. He also addressed the closure of ATMs on the Rethymno campus, clarifying that this was a decision made by banks due to maintenance costs rather than a university action.

Students have expressed frustration regarding the lack of services, noting long delays and overcrowding at the remaining functional facilities at the start of the new academic semester.
