Ferry services from the ports of Rafina and Lavrio<\/strong> have been suspended due to a sailing ban imposed amid strong winds affecting parts of the Aegean Sea.<\/p>\n Authorities issued a prohibition on departures<\/strong> from the two Attica ports, impacting travellers heading to several Greek islands during the busy summer holiday period.<\/p>\n However, ferry routes from the port of Piraeus<\/strong> are continuing as scheduled, with passengers advised to check with their ferry operators before travelling as weather conditions may cause further changes.<\/p>\n The decision comes as strong winds sweep across the region, creating difficult conditions for vessels operating in open waters.<\/p>\n Passengers travelling from Rafina and Lavrio have been urged to remain informed and contact ferry companies for updates regarding revised departure times and possible cancellations.<\/p>\n The sailing restrictions are part of standard maritime safety measures implemented when weather conditions pose risks to passengers and crews.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, emergency crews across Greece continue to battle several wildfires, including a major blaze in Rethymno, Crete<\/strong>, where firefighters are fighting to contain two active fronts and evacuations have been ordered in several areas.<\/p>\n A separate wildfire has also affected Andros<\/strong>, where firefighting forces have been reinforced following a blaze near Paleopoli. A firefighter was reportedly injured during operations, while residents in another settlement were evacuated as a precaution.<\/p>\n Authorities continue to monitor both the weather situation and wildfire developments as Greece faces challenging summer conditions.<\/p>\n
