A thick layer of African dust has covered Crete and the Cyclades, causing disruptions to flights and ferry schedules. The dust has reduced visibility and created problems for travelers.
The situation is being closely monitored by local authorities, who are working to minimize the impact of the dust on daily life. Flights and ferry services have been affected, with some routes being canceled or delayed.
The African dust is a common phenomenon in the region, but this year's episode is particularly severe. Residents and tourists are advised to take precautions to protect themselves from the dust, which can cause respiratory problems and other health issues.
