Traffic Alert: BOAK Highway to Close June 24-25 in East Crete

Sunday, 21 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
Traffic on the BOAK highway near Agios Nikolaos will be interrupted on June 24 and 25, 2026. The BOAK is the main east-west road connecting Heraklion to eastern Crete, including popular destinations such as Elounda, Agios Nikolaos, and Sitia. Travelers planning to drive along this route on those dates should expect delays or road closures and are advised to check local traffic updates before departure. Alternative coastal or inland roads may be used as detours, though journey times will be longer. If you are staying in eastern Crete or have airport transfers, car rentals, or excursions planned for June 24 or 25, allow extra travel time and confirm your route with your accommodation or rental agency in advance.
