Traffic jams hit Athens exits as thousands head out for holidays

Heavy traffic congestion affected major roads leading out of Athens on Friday as thousands of residents traveled for their summer holidays. Key routes such as Kifissos Avenue and the Athens-Corinth highway faced significant delays, with some areas experiencing over 30 minutes of traffic holdups. The Attiki Odos toll highway also saw prolonged slowdowns. Meanwhile, passenger traffic increased at Greek ports, particularly in Piraeus, where 57 ferry departures were scheduled to transport nearly 19,000 travelers to popular island destinations like the Cyclades, Crete, and the Dodecanese. Additional ferry services were also planned from Rafina and Lavrio.
