An incident at Piraeus port, the main ferry hub connecting Athens to Crete and the Greek islands, caused significant disruption this morning after a vehicle fell into the sea. Coast Guard units and rescue teams were deployed to the scene. Piraeus is the primary departure point for ferries heading to Heraklion and Chania, so travelers with sailings scheduled today should check with their ferry operator for potential delays or schedule changes before heading to the port. No details have been confirmed yet regarding injuries or the cause of the incident. Passengers are advised to monitor updates from ANEK Lines, Minoan Lines, and other ferry operators serving the Crete route, and to allow extra time if travel through Piraeus is planned in the coming hours.
