Greek Ferry Services Slowly Restart After Severe Weather Disruptions

Ferry operations in Greece slowly resumed on January 11th after a bout of severe weather temporarily kept vessels docked. As conditions improved, most ferry routes, particularly from the port of Piraeus, began services early Sunday morning. However, authorities advised travelers to check schedules before heading out, as cancellations remained possible due to unpredictable weather.

Despite the easing winds, meteorologists warned that another unsettled weather pattern was expected, with gale-force winds and heavy rainfall anticipated particularly in the Aegean Sea and Dodecanese regions. The northern mountainous areas were forecasted to experience snowfall, with lower elevations also facing potential snow. A significant drop in temperatures, especially in the north, would lead to widespread frost.

Authorities communicated that while ferry services were cautiously restarting, worsening land weather could bring about further disruptions, and a return to stable conditions was not expected until the middle of the week.
