Have just heard from a friend in work her parents are in Athens and are due to fly back Wednesday, but have had to pay extra to get home tomorrow due to strikes due to take place starting on Wednesday!! Anybody heard anything else on this?

I think Easy Jet are playing safe - again, and cancelling all flights for Wednesday or Thursday, they did this last week when in fact other airlines were flying out round the stoppage times
When I phoned Thomsons they said they still had not been informed of any strikes and would be very surprised if they did strike for 48 hours, they never have done before and did not last week
I was told we should be informed on Tuesday of any rescheduling of our flghts on Wednesday morning

It seems strange to see no ferrys today other than an early Minoan. I don't think there are any for three days.
The hydrofoil to Albania is still running though.

I know that most people on the forum, particularly visitors to the island, will mainly be concerned with air traffic controllers and taxi drivers striking but Athens News has published a 'Strike Calender' here. Very useful.
Clicking on the entries gives further information.
I hope that I am not late to the party with this information!
