Spetses

Malvina Panagiotidi's solo exhibition, "All Dreams Are Vexing," at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (Kallirois & Amvrosiou Frantzi, emst.gr), stems from her 2023 research on the Saronic island of Spetses, where one of the first great female artists of modern Greece, Eleni Boukoura-Altamoura, sought solace after her children's tragic deaths.

Waves batter the port of Rafina in Attica. Ferries remained tied up at the ports of Piraeus, Rafina, and Lavrio on Sunday and Monday due to gale-force winds reaching up to 9 Beaufort in some places.

Members of leftist SYRIZA's parliamentary group leave the port of Piraeus for the island of Spetses on Friday, where they will take part in a two-day "exchange of views" with the main objective being for the opposition party to sail in "calm waters" after the recent infighting, and to forge a way forward. The meetings will take place at the island home of SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis.

Main opposition SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis invited the party's parliamentary group for a three-day working meeting in his holiday home on the island of Spetses.

According to the email invitation the MPs received on Wednesday, the meeting aims to plan parliamentary action for the first semester of 2024, with invitees asked to prepare and propose new pieces of legislation.

Heavy traffic in Greece. The ferry tickets are over. Greeks and foreigners "take over" the islands for Easter.
