Residents and business owners in the municipality of Platanias, in the Chania region of western Crete, have formally notified local authorities over the deteriorating condition of the local road network.

Platanias is a popular coastal destination west of Chania city, attracting significant tourist traffic during summer. The poor road conditions may affect driving in the area, particularly on smaller connecting roads between villages and beach areas.

Tourists are advised to check road conditions locally before traveling to more remote beaches or inland villages in the Platanias area.
