BOAK Highway Closure Causes Delays Between Neapoli and Agios Nikolaos

Wednesday, 17 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
A section of the BOAK highway between Neapoli and Agios Nikolaos is experiencing a traffic closure. The BOAK is the main east-west road connecting central Crete to the eastern Lasithi region, making it a key route for tourists traveling between Heraklion and popular destinations such as Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Spinalonga. During the closure, drivers should expect delays and may need to use alternative local roads. If you are planning to travel eastward along the northern coast, allow extra time for your journey and check local traffic updates before departing. The closure does not affect ferry services or airports. Travelers staying in the Lasithi area or heading to eastern Crete by road are most likely to be impacted.
