Back to newsRoad maintenance in Chania is being hampered by an ongoing dispute over jurisdiction between the municipal government and the regional authority. City councillor Miltiadis Klonizakis raised the issue publicly, highlighting how overlapping responsibilities are causing roads to go unrepaired, with neither body clearly taking ownership. This bureaucratic deadlock means some roads in and around Chania may remain in poor condition for an extended period. Visitors driving in the Chania area should exercise caution, particularly on secondary roads, and consider renting vehicles with good ground clearance. Checking local conditions before road trips into rural or mountainous areas west of Crete is advisable. The situation has no confirmed resolution timeline, so travellers should plan routes using well-maintained main roads where possible.
