Transport in Athens

As unions across the Greek public sector plan nationwide strikes and rallies on Wednesday in reaction to last week's fatal train collision in the Vale of Tempe, workers on the capital's metro, electric railway (ISAP) and tram are also planning to walk off the job to join the action.

Motorists on the Attiki Odos motorway around Athens are facing delays of up to 25 minutes due to an crash at one interchange and the deteriorating weather situation.

Traffic is particularly slow moving between the Marathon and Kifissia intersections and between the Plakentias and Kifissia junctions.

The incident occurred on Poseidonos avenue

Greece's privatization agency (HRADF) has signaled an intent to prepare and push forward with international tenders for a handful of state-owned and managed assets, even over the summer season, including for the Attiki Odos tollway in the greater Athens urban area and the sell-off of another 30 percent of the Athens International Airport.

The fine is imposed on the companies Attiki Odos SA (Concessionaire Company) and ATTICA ROUTES SA (Operation and Maintenance Company of Attiki Odos)

More than 9,500 requests had been submitted, according to information, as of yesterday on the special platform of Attiki Odos for the vehicles that were blocked during the "Elpida" severe weather front.

The most dramatic situation is on the Attiki Odos highway, the bypass around Athens that connects the capital with the airport, where hundreds of vehicles are currently still trapped, reports the Greek portal Kathimerini, as Blic finds out.

The International Space Station will be located above Athens at 18:18 in the afternoon
