Back to newsA serious traffic accident occurred on the BOAK highway near Karteros, a coastal area east of Heraklion, when a car overturned. The BOAK is the main east-west road connecting Heraklion to eastern Crete, and incidents like this can cause significant delays along this route. Tourists traveling between Heraklion, the airport, and destinations such as Malia, Agios Nikolaos, or Elounda should allow extra travel time and monitor local traffic conditions. If driving on the BOAK, exercise caution, observe speed limits, and remain alert, as this stretch of road sees heavy traffic, particularly during summer. Local emergency services responded to the scene. Check with your accommodation or rental car provider for real-time road updates before setting out.
