Ferry Routes to Crete Modified Due to Severe Weather
Main Piraeus-to-Crete sailings remain scheduled, while operators remove Serifos and Milos stops as 8- to 9-Beaufort winds disrupt routes, officials said.
- The Hellenic National Meteorological Service forecasts heavy rains and thunderstorms across Crete until Sunday, October 4, triggering ferry itinerary changes and widespread flooding across the island.
- Dangerous 8- to 9-Beaufort northeast winds have forced ferry operators to bypass intermediate stops at Serifos and Milos, though primary Piraeus-Crete routes remain scheduled to operate.
- Authorities issued a 112 emergency warning for Mylopotamos after flooding caused significant damage in Zoniana and Livadia, where a bridge collapse injured two people sent to the hospital.
- Intense rainfall on the Lasithi Plateau prompted officials to suspend school operations in several municipalities, including Sitia and Minoa Pediada, as a precaution against hazardous conditions.
- Travelers should verify ferry status before departure, as The Mediterranean does not follow a "Beaufort 8 = cancelled" formula; operational decisions vary based on routes, individual ports, and vessels.
