Back to newsConstruction works on the BOAK (the main east-west highway crossing Crete from Heraklion toward the eastern part of the island) are currently causing significant traffic disruption. Delays and congestion are affecting drivers using this major arterial road, which is one of the primary routes connecting central Crete to eastern destinations such as Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Sitia.
Tourists planning road trips along the northern coast of Crete should allow extra travel time, particularly during peak hours. Consider using the old national road (Ethniki Odos) as an alternative where possible, though it passes through more towns and adds time to journeys. GPS navigation apps may not fully reflect current conditions, so check locally at your accommodation for the latest updates before setting out on longer drives along this corridor.
