Travel warning for Moldovans planning to travel to Greece

The Embassy of the Republic of Moldova in the Hellenic Republic informs Moldovan citizens who are in, transiting or intending to travel to Greece that strikes and major disruptions in the public transport sector are announced for Friday, February 28, 2025. The protest actions are organized to mark two years since the Tembi railway tragedy.

Authorities recommend avoiding non-essential travel and checking official announcements for updates on the transport situation.

We remind you that on February 28, 2023, a passenger train connecting the capital and the northern city of Thessaloniki collided head-on with a freight train, killed 57 people and sparked mass protests over what many consider the result of decades of neglect of the railway sector.
