Back to newsA fatal road accident occurred on the BOAK highway in Crete, involving a motorcyclist who collided with a van. The motorcyclist died as a result of the crash. The BOAK is Crete's main east-west arterial road, connecting Heraklion with the eastern part of the island, and is heavily used by tourists traveling between resorts and attractions.
Tourists driving or riding on the BOAK should exercise caution, particularly on stretches where speed limits are high and overtaking is common. Motorcyclists visiting Crete are advised to wear full protective gear at all times, stay alert to local driving habits, and avoid riding at night or in unfamiliar conditions. Rental scooters and motorbikes are popular on the island, but traffic accidents involving two-wheeled vehicles remain a leading cause of tourist injury and fatality in Crete each summer.
