Greek Ferry Status

Ferry disruptions

Sailing bans, strikes and days when far fewer ferries left port.

What still sails during a disruption

Departures on the worst day of each disruption, compared with a normal day, for the ports where we receive ship signals. Fast craft usually stop first; many conventional ferries keep going in winds that ground fast craft, but not during strikes.

All disruptions

Every sailing ban, strike and unusual drop in departures we have recorded. Bans come from Greek press reports; departure counts come from ship positions, which we have recorded since 8 October 2026.
