Bad weather paralyzed life in Greece

Vasilis Kikilias, Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection of Greece, stated that the rains registered in the country for two days caused unprecedented difficulties in terms of severity and duration.

Kikilias pointed out that the port of Volos was closed for security reasons and stated that the Armed Forces will repair the Kala Nera bridge, which was destroyed due to flooding in southern Pilio.

“I urge everyone to be vigilant 24 hours a day,” Kikilias said. The bad weather conditions are also likely to partially affect the Attiki region (including the capital Athens).” he said. Experts warned about Trikala, Kardiça, Larisa and Magnisia.
