Tourists have once again been stranded in Greece because of strikes at its main ferry port.
Dock workers in Piraeus have stopped travellers boarding ferries to the Greek islands in the latest strike action against proposed cost-cutting reforms for the country.
According to BBC reports, thousands of people have also been protesting in Athens, leading to some scuffles with police.
The Greek tourist industry said the protests are causing irreparable damage to Greek tourism, which generates almost 20% of national income.
Although last week’s strikes were declared illegal, the Greek Government has failed to act on the court order.
