Heavy traffic congestion is affecting the coastal road (Leoforos Ikaron) in Heraklion city this Friday morning following a road accident involving a taxi. The incident occurred on the seafront boulevard, one of the main arteries running along the northern coast of the city, causing significant delays for vehicles travelling in both directions. Tourists staying in or travelling through Heraklion should expect longer journey times on this route, particularly those heading to or from the port, the city centre, or destinations along the northern coastal highway. It is advisable to allow extra travel time if you have a ferry departure, airport transfer, or scheduled excursion this morning. Consider using inland alternative routes where possible, or check with your hotel or transfer provider for real-time updates before setting out.
