Calm in Athens was restored early yesterday afternoon. As you may have heard, the last few weeks have been a challenging time for Greece culminating with yesterday’s general strike and some rioting in isolated areas of central Athens. Very uninviting images have travelled around the world and we hope that these images do not stick. It is not representative of the country as a whole, which is still one of the safest in Europe. There is also a lot more to the country than yesterday’s events, and these events should not discourage anyone from travelling to Greece.
It is important to note that the strikes are pre-planned. By law, unions must give the government at least 48 hours warning before a strike which gives us more than enough time to alter your plans and avoid the city when riots are probable. At this time no general strike has been planned for the coming week. The main objective of Dolphin Hellas is the welfare of our clients. Most of the times our clients do not realize there is a strike going on either because they are not in Athens or because we find solutions to deal with problems that may arise. Athens acts and reacts differently from the rest of the country, but whatever happens in Athens is what makes the news. Of course, sometimes there is no solution: if the air traffic control personnel goes on strike, an international flight may be cancelled or delayed; if the guards in a museum or site go on strike (which by the way has not happened so far even once, despite the fact that the guards are also public servants) and there is no time to reschedule the visit, you may have to omit one location.
We cannot guarantee that you will not run into a strike; we can only guarantee that we will do our best to make this trip trouble free.
