The port of Rafina is currently experiencing a complete halt in maritime activities due to a 24-hour strike initiated by three maritime unions. The strike, which began on the morning of July 3, 2026, is set to continue until 06:00 on Saturday, July 4. The unions have cited concerns about serious safety deficiencies and inadequate port infrastructure as their primary reasons for the protest.

Despite a judicial ruling deeming the strike illegal, the unions claim they have not received official notice of this decision and are proceeding with the strike as planned.

Travelers wanting to use ferry services are being redirected to the port of Lavrio instead, as the situation in Rafina remains unchanged.
