Back to newsHeavy traffic congestion is affecting the BOAK highway near Pantanassa due to ongoing roadworks, causing significant queues and delays for drivers heading toward Rethymno. The BOAK is the main east-west highway connecting Heraklion to Rethymno and Chania along Crete's northern coast. Tourists planning to travel between Heraklion and Rethymno should expect longer journey times than usual and may want to allow extra time or consider departing outside peak hours. Local roads running parallel to the highway through coastal villages can serve as alternative routes, though they are narrower and slower. Check local traffic conditions before setting out, as works schedules may vary day to day.
