Water Supply Works to Disrupt Heraklion City Centre May 11-15

Saturday, 9 May 2026/CretaOne/1 
Water supply network replacement works are ongoing in Heraklion city centre from Monday 11 May to Friday 15 May 2026. The works are being carried out by DEYAH, the municipal water authority, on Georgios Papandreou Street, Vasilis Smbokos Street, and Kosta Partheni Street. Tourists staying in or passing through these areas should expect road disruptions, potential lane closures, and possible temporary interruptions to local water supply. If your accommodation is located near these streets, check with your hotel or host about any scheduled water outages during this period. The works are part of a broader infrastructure upgrade to modernise Heraklion's ageing water distribution network. Plan additional travel time if your route passes through this part of the city, and consider using alternative streets to avoid construction delays.
