Greece has issued a warning to tourists, including those from the UK, to remain vigilant as the country braces for a bout of extreme weather in the coming days.
Holiday hotspots popular with British tourists are set to face a spell of adverse conditions, with storms, heavy rain, and strong winds expected to sweep across the nation.
Greek authorities are urging Brits abroad to stay alert and take necessary precautions.
The weather is expected to worsen from tomorrow, with heavy rainfall and thunderstorms moving in from various parts of the country.
By Monday, these conditions are anticipated to spread further westwards, accompanied by powerful gusts of wind.
These strong winds are likely to continue into Monday afternoon, posing risks for those travelling or planning outdoor activities.
Local authorities have advised tourists to avoid coastal areas during this time due to potential risks from high waves and winds.
Despite the severe weather expected over the next few days, there is a positive outlook for improvement.
The Greek Meteorological Service reports that the adverse weather conditions should begin to ease by the early hours of Tuesday morning, with a gradual return to more stable weather across the country.
Holidaymakers are advised to keep up with local news, follow the guidance of Greek authorities, and stay updated with their travel providers to ensure safety.
Brits travelling to Greece should also ensure they have access to emergency contact information, in case any unexpected situation arises due to the extreme weather.
Many of Greece’s popular tourist destinations, from Athens to the islands, could be affected by the storms, and travellers are advised to adjust their plans accordingly.
For those visiting areas prone to flooding or where power cuts are possible, it is especially important to remain cautious.
