Back to newsOn Friday, May 1st (May Day), metro and tram workers across Greece will stage a 24-hour strike, halting services from the start of morning operations. This action coincides with the national public holiday celebrating International Workers' Day. Note that Crete has no metro or tram network, so the strike does not directly affect local transport on the island. However, tourists traveling through Athens to reach Crete should plan for disruptions to metro connections between Athens International Airport and the city center or Piraeus port. Allow extra time, use taxis or buses as alternatives, and confirm your onward transport arrangements in advance.
