A motorcyclist in Heraklion was filmed falling after hitting a pothole, skidding several meters along the road before coming to a stop. The incident, captured on video, highlights the poor road surface conditions in parts of the city. Tourists renting motorcycles, scooters, or bicycles in Heraklion should exercise caution and keep speeds moderate, particularly on secondary streets where potholes and uneven pavement are common. Always wear a helmet and protective gear, stay alert for road hazards, and avoid riding at night when potholes are harder to spot. If renting a vehicle, inspect it before departure and choose well-lit, main roads where possible.
