Strong “Meltemi” winds are battering Greece, reaching gusts up to 100 km/h, prompting ferry cancellations and travel restrictions. Ferry services from the ports of Rafina and Loutro have been suspended for the next 48 hours due to the hazardous conditions. A scheduled ferry departure from Piraeus was also cancelled. While ferry routes to the Saronic Gulf and Marmari islands remain operational, authorities are warning of a significantly increased risk of wildfires. The strong winds are expected to begin easing on Sunday, according to weather forecasts from Protothema’s Tsatrafyllia. Travelers are advised to check with ferry operators for updates before planning any sea travel.
