A blanket of heavy snow covered Greece on Monday, from the Acropolis hill over Athens to the islands in the south, disrupting air traffic, bringing transport and COVID-19 vaccinations to a halt and forcing schools to close.
As the storm, named Elpida, swept across Greece, snow blanketed beaches and beach umbrellas on the Athenian coast, and train and bus services in the capital were suspended. Drivers who ventured out found themselves stranded.
Authorities said the cold spell was expected to persist until Wednesday and more extreme weather was forecast for Tuesday.
