Just a piece of added information on travel. Only essential domestic flights are operational from 0600hrs on November 7th. You need to contact your airline to check if your particular booked flight has been cancelled. Be aware that Aegean Airlines has caused of lot buzz on social media as they are not refunding paid fares on cancelled flights due to the coronavirus pandemic. Their informational page for what all passengers should know about cancelled flights is here.
Majority of Aegean’s international flights are operational, but expect changes and cancellations dependant on passenger loads and other reasons.
Due to Makedonia being a severely affected ‘red zone’ region for Covid-19, all flights are cancelled to/from Thessaloniki Airport for the period November 3rd to the 17th. Regardless of the carrier you are using for international flights to/from other airports in Greece, always check in plenty of time with the carrier you are booked on.
