It won't be when they strike! Tony
The Federation of Civil Aviation unions have announced a 5 day strike from Monday 20 June to Friday 24 June 2016. There’s likely to be some disruption to a number of domestic and international flights in Greece, but it’s not yet clear which airports or services will be affected. If you’re due to travel in this period, contact your airline or travel company for more information.
