Underage alcohol consumption incidents in Chania

Overview

Recent incidents in Chania have highlighted issues regarding underage alcohol consumption and lack of supervision during the summer months.

On 1 August, a 15-year-old was arrested for operating an electric scooter while under the influence of alcohol. The teenager’s mother was also charged with neglect of a minor. Authorities indicated they would investigate the source of the alcohol and the scooter-rental company involved, while police chief Eustratia Koulara stated that checks on alcohol consumption at festivals would be intensified.

On 10 August, two minors aged 13 and 14 were hospitalized following alcohol consumption at a beach party in Agioi Apostoloi. Police arrested the girls’ guardians, aged 54 and 59, as an investigation into the circumstances of the intoxication continues. These events follow similar recent cases in Lasithi, reflecting a seasonal trend of underage drinking during summer social gatherings.
