Traffic restrictions on the Heraklion to Viannos road corridor have been extended, following four targeted interventions requested by the Mayor of Minoa Pediadas, Vasilis Kengkeroglos, at the Regional Council. This route runs through the inland southeastern area of Heraklion regional unit, connecting the capital with the coastal municipality of Viannos. Drivers traveling between Heraklion and the southern coast via this axis should expect lane controls or reduced-speed zones to remain in place. If you are planning to visit villages in the Pediada area or heading toward the Viannos coastline, allow extra travel time and follow signage on the road. Local authorities are using the restrictions to address specific infrastructure concerns along the corridor. Check with your accommodation or a local rental car provider for the latest updates before setting out on this route.
