Crete Road Construction Suspended for Technical Assessment

Monday, 27 April 2026/SourceHaniotika Nea/1 min read
Construction work on the new road connecting Platanos and Sfhinari, in the Kissamos area of western Crete, has been suspended shortly after it began. The halt is due to the need for additional technical studies to be completed before work can resume. No restart date has been announced. Travelers planning to drive along this route in the Gramvousa peninsula region should expect potential delays, limited road access, or detours. The Platanos to Sfhinari road serves as a key route for visitors heading to remote beaches and viewpoints in the far northwest of the island. Tourists are advised to check local conditions before setting out and to allow extra travel time if passing through this area.
