The KYDON SA car park on Peridou Street in Chania will close from March 17 to 22 due to roadwork by DEYACH.
- When: March 17-22, 2025.
- Where: Peridou Street and parts of Ypsilanton Street, Chania.
- Why: Water main replacement project by DEYACH.
- Impact: KYDON SA car park will be closed, no access to underground parking.
- Heads-Up: More updates on car park access to follow as work progresses.
Starting Monday, March 17, 2025, tourists and residents hoping to park at the KYDON SA car park on Peridou Street are in for a rude awakening if they missed the news. The facility is closing its gates for five days. Why? Because the local water authority (DEYACH) has decided it’s time to give Chania some shiny new pipes. Out with the old, rusty water mains, and in with the replacements—progress, right?
Don’t count on sneaking in or out of the underground parking either—it’s strictly off-limits. If you’re thinking of renting a moped or hoofing it instead, that’s probably your smartest move.
What Else You’ll Want to Avoid
Along with Peridou Street, parts of neighboring Ypsilanton Street will also see traffic shutdowns during this pipe-related drama. The disruptions roll out section by section, meaning getting around will feel like navigating a construction maze. If you’re determined to explore Chania during this time, maybe brush up on your map-reading—or just stay close to the Old Town where you can ditch the car altogether.
Let’s face it, parking in Chania is tricky on a good day. Now toss in this week-long closure, and the parking scene goes from meh to are you kidding me?. Whether you’re picking up a rental car or hoping to explore the city hassle-free, this news will shape your plans. If you’ve booked accommodations nearby, double-check if they have private parking or alternative recommendations.
DEYACH promises updates on the KYDON SA car park as soon as work advances. So, while Peridou Street gets its pipes in order, tourists and locals alike will just have to adapt.

Tourists, consider this a survival tip. March 17-22 is not the ideal week for your Chania road trip dreams.
