May 1 Strike to Keep Ferries Docked Across Greece
 

Ferry services across Greece will be suspended on May 1 due to a nationwide strike by seafarers marking Labor Day.

Thanks for this, we got caught up in a ferry disruption in Greece some years ago, and the worst part was trying to work out what was still running after. If anyone here is traveling on May 1, I’d probably just keep an eye on ferry hopper’s disruptions page because I noticed they update these things pretty often: https://www.ferryhopper.com/en/ferry-disruptions. For this year, I also saw the strike mentioned in a couple of articles in case anyone wants a bit more context on the May 1 stoppage:

It’s a given that ferries based on the mainland will not be running on May 1st, which is Labor Day in Greece. It’s the same every year. Other services will be affected as well. Here is an article in the English version of eKathimerini:
