Ferries on strike - do we do Seajets or fly

There is indeed a nationwide 24-hour strike planned for April 9th. It's a strike that will affect the entire public sector.

There will be no ferry departures, Seajets or other companies

Greek press article (among others)

According to announcements, ships in all ports across the country will
remain moored, and seafarers are participating in the strike.

Public transportation is also expected to be affected, with limited
routes and possible disruption to public transportation. Transport
workers will participate in the mobilization, and announcements are
expected.

The strike focuses on issues related to working conditions and
workers' demands, and participation is expected to be massive.

I have not read any specific information about this but it could also disrupt air traffic ( strike notices in this sector are generally declared illegal one or 2 days before the strike)

Don't trust the schedules on ferry company websites or ferry booking platforms; they don't take strikes into account.

Look for a backup plan with a trip on April 8th or 10th.

You should plan on flying. Seajets will be affected too. We were in Greece when there was a strike and all commercial ferries were affected.

As far as I can tell, even air traffic controllers are joining the strike. If this is true, we're in a world of hurt since our flight from Atlanta is to land on the 9th and then we were to fly to Santorini for a few days before returning to Athens to join our tour. Any thoughts or ideas? We are flexible and could leave a day earlier if necessary but need to get on this ASAP

It's your airline's responsibility to manage this type of situation.

European legislation allows for flight refunds in the event of an air traffic controller strike, but there are exceptions such as "extraordinary circumstances," and there are numerous disputes in the courts to determine whether a given case constitutes an extraordinary circumstance.

The risk of canceling and rescheduling your flight on your own is that you won't receive a refund or possible compensation.

If you can change your flight free of charge, that might be the best option. At the risk of having changed it unnecessarily if the strike is canceled.

There hasn't been a peep about this from Aegean. What I am torn about is that I also need ASAP Santorini-Athens tickets, and now I'm hesitating to buy if in fact I should be waiting for and using a credit from a canceled Athens-Naxos flight on the 9th instead of buying a second set of Aegean tix.
