PIRAEUS, Greece – Several ferry journeys throughout Greece were cancelled on Thursday due to strong winds at sea, which according to the National Meteorological Service could reach up to 9 Beaufort in some areas.
Among the cancelled ferries were the scheduled sailing of the “Blue Star Paros” from Piraeus at 15:00, stopping at Kalymnos, Kos, Nisyros, Tilos, Symi, Rhodes and Kastellorizo, as well as the “Blue Star Naxos” scheduled to sail at 17:30 for Syros, Paros, Naxos, Donousa, Aigiali and Astypalaia.
