Back to newsThe BOAK highway near Agios Nikolaos, in eastern Crete, is experiencing a new traffic interruption set to last for the coming days. The BOAK is the main east-west road artery running along the northern coast of the island, and closures or disruptions on this route directly affect travel times between Heraklion, Elounda, Agios Nikolaos, and Sitia. Tourists driving between central and eastern Crete should expect delays and plan additional travel time. Drivers are advised to check local traffic updates before departure, consider alternative inland routes if available, and allow extra time when heading to eastern destinations such as the Lasithi Plateau, Spinalonga, or Vai Beach.
