Road resurfacing work is set to begin in the Theriso area, near Heraklion in central Crete. Theriso is a scenic mountain village located about 15 kilometers south of Heraklion city, known for its historical significance in the Cretan revolution and its traditional tavernas. Visitors planning to drive the winding road up to Theriso through the Theriso Gorge should expect possible delays or temporary disruptions during the works. The route is popular with tourists for day trips from Heraklion, particularly for lunch at local restaurants. It is advisable to check local conditions before heading out, allow extra travel time, and follow any traffic signs or detour instructions on site. Once completed, the resurfacing will improve road safety and driving conditions on this route.
