On Wednesday, May 13, Greek civil servants are on a nationwide strike organized by ADEDY, the public sector workers' union. All government offices and public services are closed for the day. Public transport, including buses, operates on its normal schedule, so getting around is not affected. Schools may have reduced or no classes depending on local participation. Tourists should expect delays or closures at government-run sites, municipal offices, and public administration counters. If you need to handle any paperwork, visit a government office, or access public institutions, plan for another day. Private businesses, shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions run by private operators remain open as usual.
