Back to newsA new traffic interruption has been announced on the BOAK highway between Neapoli and Agios Nikolaos, in the eastern part of Crete. The BOAK is the main road connecting Heraklion to the eastern regions of the island, including popular destinations such as Elounda, Agios Nikolaos, and Sitia. During the closure period, drivers traveling east from Heraklion will need to use alternative local roads, which will significantly increase travel time. Tourists renting a car and planning to visit the Lasithi region should check current road conditions before departure, allow extra time for their journey, and follow signage for detour routes. Local authorities typically provide updates through regional traffic services.
