Back to newsA morning power outage disrupted traffic signals in Heraklion, Crete's largest city, causing blackout conditions on city roads. The timing, during morning rush hour, led to uncontrolled intersections and slower traffic flow across affected areas. Visitors driving in or around Heraklion should exercise extra caution at intersections, treat non-functioning traffic lights as stop signs, and allow additional travel time if heading to the port, airport, or central attractions. Local authorities were expected to address the issue, but conditions may have caused delays for those with early ferry departures or flights from Heraklion International Airport. If traveling through the city, check road conditions before setting out and consider using major arterial routes where traffic police may be directing vehicles.
