Heavy traffic is affecting Knossos Avenue in Heraklion on Monday, April 27, with significant delays reported from the early morning hours. The road, one of the main arteries connecting central Heraklion to the Palace of Knossos and the southern parts of the city, is experiencing congestion with long vehicle queues forming in both directions.
Tourists planning to visit the Palace of Knossos or traveling through this corridor should allow extra travel time or consider departing earlier or later in the day to avoid the worst of the delays. Alternatively, using public bus services (KTEL) from Heraklion's central bus station on Leoforos 62 Martyron may be a more reliable option to reach Knossos today. Local taxis may also experience delays on this route.
