Greece: Strikes to paralyze Athens metro service November 21

Event

Athens metro staff have announced a 24-hour strike on Tuesday, November 21, to protest the government’s attempts to privatize the network. According to local media, all metro services will be suspended for the entirety of the day, including the main line connecting central Athens to Athens International Airport (ATH). Further information is yet to be released.

Increased road congestion and demand for taxis is likely as commuters use alternate means of transportation.

Advice

Travelers are advised to monitor the situation and to allow for extra time to reach their destinations.
