Tue, 8th May, 2012: Any strikes to be expected? Are tourists still welcome? To all those who right now (2nd week of May, 2012) ask whether any strikes are to be expected after the parliamentary elections, and whether holidaymakers are still welcome in Crete: We actually do not expect any strikes during the next few weeks. All strikes are always being held to protest against the government's measures and against new laws passed by Parliament. After the elections of last Sunday it will however take several weeks until there is an effective government again, and the currently elected Parliament is also not able to legislate anything at all. It is probably not advisable to travel Athens at the moment. But on the islands and mainly in Crete, everybody takes all efforts to establish a smooth flow of the tourism season, and all tourists are very welcome. Everyone here knows that our holiday guests are the only ones who allow many Cretan families to survive. Source:  Ingo H. Dietrich
