The Mayor of Apokoronas, Charalampos Koukianakis, has formally written to Greece's Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport to request the immediate installation of proper bus stops at Agios Rafail, a village in the Apokoronas region of northwestern Crete. The request is tied to ongoing construction of the new BOAK east-west highway, which is reshaping road infrastructure across the island. Tourists traveling by public bus between Chania and the Apokoronas area, which includes popular destinations like Lake Kournas and Georgioupolis, should be aware that local bus stop access in this corridor may currently be limited or inconvenient. Visitors relying on KTEL buses to reach this part of Crete are advised to confirm stop locations with their accommodation or at the Chania bus station before traveling.
