Major Travel Disruptions in Greece Due to October 14 Strike
Greece is currently facing significant travel disruptions due to a nationwide 24-hour strike that is affecting public transport, ferry services, and cruise operations from 00:01 to 23:59 on October 14, 2025. This strike, organized by unions across the country, is in protest of proposed labor reforms that would extend working hours.
Tourism services are being heavily impacted, particularly in Athens and popular Greek island destinations. The following services are experiencing interruptions:
- Ferry routes connecting the mainland to islands
- Local public transportation, including buses and metro services in major cities
These disruptions are affecting thousands of tourists and posing significant challenges for international visitors who rely on public transport to reach airports, hotels, and tourist attractions.
Tourism officials advise travelers to make alternative arrangements and stay updated on service changes. Despite the disruptions, Greece’s beaches, cultural sites, and natural attractions remain accessible with proper planning.
