Greek National Road 97 is a national road on the island of Crete, Greece. It connects Heraklion with Agia Galini on the south coast, via Moires. It is one of five national roads on the island.
Route
The EO97 is officially defined as a north–south road that is mostly within the Heraklion regional unit, with the southern end being in Rethymno: it branches off the EO90 in the city of Heraklion to the north, and heads southwest towards Agia Galini, via Phaistos. The EO97 also connects with the A90 motorway (formerly the New EO90), which bypasses central Heraklion.
History
Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO97 from the old EO67, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO97.
