Back to newsA video circulating online shows a truck driver performing a dangerous overtaking maneuver on a sharp curve along a road in Crete. The incident highlights the risks posed by heavy vehicles on the island's narrow, winding roads, which are common outside of major urban areas. Tourists driving rental cars or motorcycles in Crete should exercise caution, particularly on mountain and coastal routes where visibility around bends is limited. Keep to the right, avoid overtaking near curves, and allow extra space when sharing the road with trucks and buses. Defensive driving is strongly recommended, especially on less-trafficked inland roads where such situations can occur without warning.
