The main east-west highway in Crete, known as BOAK, will have a section closed between Neapoli and Agios Nikolaos on Friday, May 22, 2026. The closure runs from 9:00 to 17:00, with traffic diversions in place during this period. Travelers heading to or from Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, or the eastern part of the island should expect delays and plan alternative routes. If you are driving between Heraklion and the east on Friday, consider departing before 9:00 or after 17:00 to avoid disruption. Local roads through Neapoli can serve as a detour, though travel times will be longer. Check local traffic updates on the morning of your journey.
