Back to newsThe Kaisareias road in Platanias, a coastal area near Rethymno in western Crete, is closed to traffic until Friday due to ongoing construction works. Visitors driving through or around Platanias should expect detours and plan extra travel time when heading toward Rethymno from this direction. Local signage will indicate alternative routes, but tourists are advised to check with their accommodation or use navigation apps for updated detour information before setting out. The closure affects local access roads, so those visiting beaches or tavernas in the Platanias area may need to approach from a different direction. The road is expected to reopen by end of day Friday.
