A KTEL public bus overturned in Crete after being struck by strong gusts of wind. The incident highlights the impact that severe weather conditions can have on road transport across the island. KTEL operates the main intercity bus network in Crete, connecting towns such as Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos. Tourists relying on bus travel should check weather forecasts before journeys, particularly during periods of high winds, which can affect schedules and safety. If strong winds are forecast, consider delaying non-essential travel or arranging alternative transport. Local authorities and KTEL typically issue updates through their official channels when services are disrupted. Travelers should confirm routes and departures directly with the bus station before setting out.
