Although the protests in Athens today were extremely violent and deadly (according to the BBC), we did not see anything like that on Siros. Almost everything here was closed, buses weren't running and the ferries seemed to be anchored in port. There was a demonstration from about 10:30 to 1:00, with trucks (garbage trucks, haulers, diggers, etc) blocking the main harbour road and a march went from the city hall to the ferry terminal. The march was well-organized and many people seemed to be enjoying the chance for a weekday walk in the sunshine. No one was wearing a mask or throwing anything. After the demonstration, the trucks cleared off and a couple of restaurants opened for lunch.
Our flight to Milan is Friday morning and we are really hoping that the airport is open and running at normal capacity.
