Road resurfacing works are scheduled to begin in the Theriso area, near Heraklion, starting Tuesday 14 July, as part of the Municipality of Heraklion's ongoing road improvement and pavement restoration program. The works aim to improve road safety along routes in this mountainous zone southwest of the city. Theriso is a popular day-trip destination known for its gorge, traditional tavernas, and historical significance as the site of the 1905 Cretan Revolution. Visitors planning to drive to Theriso or through the area during this period should expect possible delays, lane closures, or temporary diversions. It is advisable to check local traffic updates before setting out and to allow extra travel time. The resurfacing program is part of a broader municipal effort to upgrade road infrastructure across the Heraklion municipality.
