Back to newsGreek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a major long-term infrastructure commitment for Crete, stating the government is equipping the island with projects designed to serve the next 50 years. The declaration signals sustained investment in Crete's roads, transport networks, and public services. For visitors, this means ongoing and future construction activity may cause temporary disruptions on certain routes across the island, particularly in areas undergoing upgrades. Long-term, the investments are expected to improve connectivity between Crete's cities, airports, and coastal regions, making travel around the island faster and more reliable.
