Back to newsA German tourist is facing serious criminal charges following a traffic accident in Moires, a town in the Heraklion regional unit of Crete. The incident occurred when the driver made a left turn at a petrol station, resulting in a collision serious enough to trigger felony-level prosecution under Greek law. Greek traffic law strictly regulates turning maneuvers, and violations that cause significant injury or damage can result in criminal charges rather than simple fines. Tourists driving in Crete should be aware that road rules here are enforced firmly, left turns at fuel stations and busy roads require extra caution, and driving on the right side of the road may feel unfamiliar. Always check for signage and oncoming traffic before turning.
