A newly resurfaced road in central Chania has already developed a sinkhole just months after reconstruction work was completed on Antoniou Gianari Street. The pavement subsidence appeared shortly after the contractor finished the project, raising questions about construction quality. Visitors driving or walking through central Chania should be aware that this road may have uneven or unstable surface conditions. Exercise caution in the area and follow any local signage or barriers that may be in place while authorities assess the damage. The incident is likely to prompt further repair works, which could cause temporary disruptions to traffic flow in this part of the city center.
