A court in Crete has sentenced a driver to 10 years in prison following a fatal road accident in Malia, a popular tourist resort on the northern coast of the island.

Malia is a well-known destination for visitors, particularly during summer months, and is located along the busy national road connecting Heraklion to Agios Nikolaos.

This case serves as a reminder to drive carefully, respect local speed limits, and avoid distractions behind the wheel when exploring Crete by car or motorbike.
