Strong winds are currently affecting Crete, causing dangerous conditions across the island. In the village of Anopoli, in the Sfakia region of southern Crete, a bus overturned due to the severe gusts. The incident highlights the hazards that high winds can pose to road travel, particularly on the mountainous and winding roads of the island's interior and southern coast.
Tourists are advised to exercise caution when driving or traveling by road during periods of strong winds, especially on elevated or exposed routes. Check local weather forecasts before heading into the mountains or taking coastal roads. If you are relying on public bus services (KTEL), expect possible delays or route disruptions while conditions remain hazardous. Winds of this intensity can also affect ferry schedules between Crete and nearby islands, so confirm departures with your operator before traveling.
