On Friday, July 3, 2026, all scheduled ferry departures from the port of Rafina will be canceled due to a 24-hour strike announced by three maritime unions, including the Panhellenic Union of Merchant Marine Seafarers (PENE). This strike, which focuses on issues of safety and operational conditions at the port, is expected to significantly disrupt travel plans for passengers heading to various destinations, particularly the Cyclades islands.
In light of the strike, the ferry company SEAJETS will shift its scheduled routes from Rafina to the port of Lavrio. This move aims to ensure that operations can continue despite the labor action. Meanwhile, other ferry operators, such as Fast Ferries and Golden Star Ferries, have also confirmed the cancellation of their services for the day. Although a judicial decision declared the strike illegal, the unions have proceeded with their planned mobilization, emphasizing their stance on the matters of concern.
As the situation develops, the unions involved are advocating for their rights, while ferry operators seek to manage the implications of the strike on their services. Travelers are advised to check directly with their ferry operator for the latest updates and alternative arrangements.
