Monday, 29 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

On Tuesday, June 30, the road between Neapoli and Agios Nikolaos will be closed to traffic for brief intervals between 10:00 and 15:00. The closure is due to controlled blasting operations linked to ongoing construction works along this route. The exact duration of each interruption is short, but travelers should expect repeated stoppages throughout the five-hour window. If you are planning to drive between the Lasithi plateau area and Agios Nikolaos on Tuesday morning or early afternoon, allow extra time or consider traveling before 10:00 or after 15:00 to avoid delays. Buses and vehicles heading east toward Elounda, Spinalonga, or the Lasithi region via this corridor may also be affected. Check locally for updates on exact timing before you set out.
