Saturday, 20 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

A traffic accident has occurred on the BOAK highway, on the westbound lane running from Heraklion toward Gouves. The incident is causing significant delays at the scene. Drivers traveling between Heraklion city center and the Gouves area, including those heading to resorts along the northern coastal strip east of the capital, should expect congestion and allow extra travel time. If you are heading to or from Heraklion International Airport or destinations such as Hersonissos and Malia, consider checking road conditions before departing. An alternative route via the old national road running parallel to the coast is available, though it adds time to the journey. Emergency services are on site. Updates on traffic flow are expected as the situation is resolved.
