Back to newsA bus overturned on the road to Anopoli in the Sfakia area of the Chania regional unit due to extremely strong winds. The same storm conditions caused rocks to be lifted and hurled across roads in Sfakia, creating serious hazards for vehicles. The incident also resulted in damage to infrastructure and widespread power outages across the area.
Tourists planning to visit the Sfakia region, including popular destinations such as Loutro, Agia Roumeli, or the Imbros Gorge, should check road conditions before traveling. Mountain roads in this part of western Crete can become dangerous during high winds. Drivers are advised to avoid the area until conditions improve and power is restored. Contact local authorities or your accommodation in Sfakia for updated access information before setting out.
