Friday, 15 May 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Residents in Atsalenio, a village near Heraklion, are raising safety concerns about a local road left in a hazardous condition following recent roadworks. The road has an open hole and insufficient lighting, which locals say creates a serious accident risk, particularly at night. Authorities have yet to address the situation.

If renting a car, reduce speed on unfamiliar village roads in this part of the Heraklion region until repairs are confirmed complete.
