No seats left on Easter ferries
Ferries will depart on Thursday and Friday with a 100% occupancy rate, to serve the Easter travelers, while there are very few airline seats that remain available on the Aegean Airlines network for trips either in Greece or abroad.
The particularly increased traffic for this Easter, higher than last year’s, also practically coincides with the start of the summer season for a very large part of the seasonal hotels which start opening from Wednesday, May 1. By the first week of June, the vast majority of Greek seasonal hotels are expected to have opened their doors. https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/1237713/no-seats-left-on-easter-ferries/Possibly seat sell out in Cyclades and Aegean but a little less so in Ionian, maybe

Labor Day strikes to paralyze transport
Public transportation in Greece, particularly in Athens, will cease on May 1 as unions and associations stage Labor Day strikes.
The strikes, organized by major labor unions, oppose the government’s decision to move Labor Day to May 7.
They assert that Labor Day is for strikes, not holidays, emphasizing worker grievances. https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1237720/labor-day-strikes-to-paralyze-transport/

Woking peregrine falcon chicks begin to hatch
Peregrine falcon chicks on top of a Woking town centre building have begun to hatch.
The Woking Peregrine Project has a nest box on top of Export House in the town, and a camera which tracks the birds' progress.
Four eggs were laid between 19 and 25 March, and a post on X, external, formerly Twitter, confirmed a second chick hatched on Monday.
The nest box was installed in January 2016, with success stories and tragedy striking in the time since. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c51njl4k2pvo
