Road resurfacing works on Kissamos Street in Chania are causing significant traffic disruption, with queues stretching several kilometers through the city center. Drivers are reporting it can take an extended time to travel just 30 meters along the affected stretch. The works are ongoing, with no confirmed end date currently announced. Tourists driving in or through Chania, particularly those heading toward or from the Kissamos area in western Crete, should expect major delays and plan extra travel time. Using alternative routes around the city center is strongly recommended. Those relying on taxis or rental cars for transfers to western Crete destinations should check road conditions before departure and allow additional buffer time in their schedules.
