Greece is grappling with severe weather, bringing heavy snow, rain and storms that have disrupted daily life across the country.
According to Ekathimerini, regions like Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace and Thessaly are experiencing intense snowfall, while strong winds are impacting the Aegean and Ionian seas.
In Macedonia and Thrace, hazardous conditions have closed roads and left several villages in Halkidiki under snow. Snowplows are working to maintain access, and snow chains are mandatory on many roads.
Schools in northern Greece remained shut on Monday, January 13 due to the adverse weather, which also caused road closures on Mount Parnitha near Athens.
In the Peloponnese, Kalamata faced flooding and landslides, damaging businesses and sweeping away vehicles. Strong winds also suspended the Rion–Antirion ferry service.
Heavy rainfall has been recorded in Eastern Peloponnese and Central Greece, with the National Meteorological Service forecasting continued adverse weather into Tuesday morning before conditions improve later in the day.
