Chania Airport Road Safety: Resident Calls for Roundabout

Wednesday, 22 April 2026/Haniotika Nea/1 
A local resident has written to authorities calling for a roundabout to be built at the junction of the Airport-Souda national road and the provincial road connecting Profitis Ilias and Agia Triada, near Chania. The intersection currently lacks traffic control measures, making it hazardous especially during the busy summer season when vehicle volume increases significantly. For tourists driving between Chania International Airport and destinations along the northern coast or toward Souda, this junction can be a bottleneck and a safety concern. Drivers are advised to approach this intersection with caution, particularly during peak travel hours in July and August. No construction timeline has been announced yet, so the current road layout remains in place for the 2026 summer season.
