A blanket of heavy snow covered Greece on Monday, from the Acropolis hill over Athens to the islands in the south, bringing transport and COVID-19 vaccinations to a halt and forcing schools to close.
Train and bus services in the capital were suspended, and drivers who ventured out found themselves stranded.
"We've already been here for three hours," said Theodoris Petrou, standing by his car. "It didn't have snow at first, there was only about 2cm on the road, but as time goes by things are getting worse and worse."Vaccination facilities in the wider Athens region and on the nearby island of Evia closed, health officials said.Authorities urged the public to avoid non-essential travel until late on Tuesday.Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.
