Back to newsA new section of the BOAK highway, connecting Agios Nikolaos and Neapoli in eastern Crete, has officially opened to traffic. This stretch is part of the ongoing construction of the north coast motorway that will eventually link Heraklion to Sitia. For tourists, the opening means faster and safer travel between the popular resort town of Agios Nikolaos and the inland town of Neapoli, reducing travel time and easing congestion on the old national road. Visitors heading to the Lasithi Plateau, Elounda, or Spinalonga island should benefit from improved road access in the region. Travelers are advised to follow local signage as route configurations may still be adjusting around the newly opened section.
