Heraklion Nearchus Avenue Resurfacing: Expect Traffic Delays

Friday, 29 May 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Road repair and resurfacing works are currently underway in Heraklion along Nearchus Avenue (the coastal road), from its junction with Antistaseos Avenue, and in the Pateles area. The works involve milling and asphalt repaving of damaged road surfaces. Drivers and tourists travelling along the Heraklion seafront should expect possible lane restrictions or traffic slowdowns in these zones. If you are renting a car or using taxis between the port, city centre, or eastern beach areas, allow extra travel time and follow local traffic signs. Works are ongoing, so conditions may change daily. Locals recommend using alternative inland routes where possible until the repairs are complete.
