The Greek Ministry of Health has banned entry to the sea on 12 beaches in the Attica area.
When checking the quality of seawater in the area, the authorities established the presence of areas with severe water pollution, which is dangerous for people’s health.
For this reason, the Ministry of Health has introduced a ban on entering and swimming in the sea in dangerous places.
In the Attica area, swimming is prohibited on the beach near all ports and places where ships can be repaired.
You cannot enter the sea along the entire length from the port of Piraeus to Perama, as well as along the entire internal length of the port of Rafina. The ban applies to 12 locations.
Signs have been installed indicating the reason for the restriction.
Although there is a fine for violators, local authorities do not expect people to disobey because it is related to their health.
