According to sources at shipping firms, ferries departing from Piraeus and other ports on Thursday and Good Friday, ahead of Orthodox Easter on Sunday, will be close to 100 percent full.
Workers on roll-on-roll-off ferries serving the Rio-Antirio route between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese peninsula joined the second day of the Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation (PNO) on Wednesday with a walkout from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and were to hold another work stoppage from noon to 1 p.m.
The strike, which has been held to protest the impact of the government’s austerity drive on seamen’s pensions and benefits, has fueled the exasperation of hoteliers and traders who had hoped to make up for sluggish business in Orthodox Easter week.
