The UK Foreign Office (FCDO) has updated its advice for Greece ahead of a national strike planned for Friday.
As reported by Travel Gossip on Friday, a nationwide strike has been organised for 28 February.
The FCDO has now updated its advice to say: “Mass demonstrations and widespread disruption to public services will take place across Greece on 28 February to mark the second anniversary of the 2023 Tempi Valley train collision (Thessaly region, in central Greece). The collision, involving a passenger train and a freight train, killed 57 people and injured 85 passengers.
“All public transport will face serious disruptions and suspension to services. Ferries, nationwide trains, and air traffic controllers will conduct a 24-hour strike. Expect flight cancellations and delays for national and international flights to and from all airports in Greece.
“Public services, including hospitals, will face widespread disruptions and may only deal with emergency cases.”
