Heraklion Tourist Bus Stop Relocation Plan Withdrawn After Council Dispute

Tuesday, 19 May 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

A proposal to relocate tourist bus stops in Heraklion has been withdrawn following internal disagreements within the city council. The plan, which would have moved the designated stops to a new location, faced opposition from council member Sisamakis, who publicly disagreed with the proposed placement. The withdrawal means the current tourist bus stop arrangement in Heraklion remains in place for now, with no immediate changes to where coaches pick up and drop off visitors. Tourists using organized bus tours or transfer services should continue using existing stops as normal. The city council is expected to revisit the issue, so travelers planning visits later in the season should check with their tour operator or accommodation for any updates on bus stop locations around the city center.
