Crete's Kissamos Street Closed for Resurfacing Until Tuesday

Monday, 4 May 2026/CretaOne/1 
Asphalt resurfacing works began early Sunday morning on a section of Kissamos Street in Chania, in the western part of Crete. The works are expected to be completed by Tuesday evening. Kissamos Street is a key road connecting central Chania to the western coastal town of Kissamos (also known as Kastelli), making it a route commonly used by tourists heading to beaches such as Balos and Falasarna, or to the Kissamos port for ferry connections to the Peloponnese and Kythira. Travelers planning to drive along this corridor between Sunday and Tuesday should allow extra time and expect possible lane restrictions or short detours. Local authorities have not announced full road closures, but conditions may slow traffic. Check local updates before departure if this route is part of your itinerary.
