Roadwork Chaos Strands Kalyves Bus Passengers for Over 2 Hours

Saturday, 27 June 2026/Source: Flashnews/1 min read

Passengers waiting at the bus stop in Kalyves, on the main road near Chania, were stranded for over two hours in the heat and sun after no buses stopped to pick them up. Drivers reportedly could not reach the stop because roadwork signage on the national highway blocked the lane needed to pull over safely. The situation highlights an ongoing disruption affecting public bus (KTEL) services along this coastal route west of Chania.
