Back to newsA serious road accident occurred on the BOAK, the main east-west highway crossing Crete, when two vehicles collided and one car overturned. The BOAK is the primary route connecting Heraklion to eastern Crete, used heavily by tourists traveling to destinations such as Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Malia. Accidents on this road can cause significant traffic delays and temporary lane closures. Travelers planning to drive along the BOAK should allow extra time, follow speed limits, and exercise caution, particularly on sections still under construction. If you encounter a slowdown, local radio stations and Google Maps provide real-time traffic updates. Emergency services in Crete respond quickly to highway incidents, but it is advisable to keep the Greek emergency number 112 saved on your phone when driving on the island.
