I’m sorry but it begs the question WHY, having visited the island for over 30 years I’ve never seen any major accident at bus stop 4, I personally think the introduction of a roundabout will cause chaos, in the season the bulk of road users are tourists who have absolutely no idea of the rules regarding roundabouts, ie who has priority.
I feel the cost incurred by the construction of said roundabout may be better spent filling in potholes in the main round and repairing collapsed roads up to the monastery.

Would traffic lights not have been better?
Maybe more expensive, I suppose.

The reported cost of the project is €1.5m. You could get a heck of a lot of traffic lights for that. There is reference to the roundabout helping to deal with problems caused by flooding there and also to this being part of a project involving the whole road down to Koukounaries. It will be interesting to see the outcome.

I can’t read the Greeklife stuff, so I’m in the dark. With some 30 year’s background in Highways pen pushing management, I can’t recall any instances of roundabouts or traffic lights solving flooding problems.

This is making me think twice about hiring a car in May! I think you're spot on Dave & it will cause chaos with us visitors. I've always been quite confident about driving there as the road system is so straightforward, but there's no way of avoiding this spot unless you can find a parking spot in Megali Ammos and walk into town!

According to Jill Dusher, on the Boomerangers Facebook page, they are still working on the retaining wall. Maybe it’s a two/three year project. 😄

If they run out of time before the season is busy and have to abandon it until winter, someone under the influence is going to go over that wall down into the pit below one night.

Cheers Kelso. No good to me, though. I’m banned. 🤣
