Back to newsA sudden storm hit Heraklion, Crete's largest city, causing heavy flooding across multiple roads. Streets in the city center turned into rivers as rainwater overwhelmed drainage systems, disrupting traffic and making road travel difficult. Tourists staying in or passing through Heraklion should expect potential road closures and delays, particularly in low-lying areas prone to water accumulation. If you are driving, avoid underpasses and flooded streets, and allow extra travel time to reach the port, airport, or nearby attractions. Check local conditions before heading out and keep footwear suitable for wet surfaces when walking in the city. Conditions typically improve within a few hours after such storms pass. Stay updated through your accommodation or local news sources for the latest road status.
