A third consecutive wave of severe weather has swept across wide areas of Greece, causing major disruption, particularly in western regions where persistent heavy rainfall has triggered landslides and widespread damage to roads and infrastructure.
Authorities ordered the evacuation of two residential settlements located on the slopes of Mount Taygetus after landslides damaged buildings and road networks.
Courtyard walls collapsed and sections of the local road system were severely affected, with the most serious damage recorded in the Machalas settlement in the Alagonia area.
On the island of Corfu, landslides and ground subsidence have created significant problems across the road network.
The governor of the Ionian Islands region and the mayors of the island’s three municipalities are expected to travel to Athens for talks with Deputy Minister for Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Kostas Katsafados to discuss urgent interventions and immediate funding.
In the Agnanta area of the Epirus region, further landslides were reported due to intense rainfall, though authorities described the situation as currently under control.
Meanwhile, in the Louros area, continuous rainfall caused water levels to rise dramatically, turning the plain into what officials described as a lake.
In the Elis region, the village of Mazaraki in the municipality of Ilida remains cut off after a landslide stretching more than 700 meters blocked access to the settlement.
Authorities continue to closely monitor affected areas, urging residents to avoid dangerous zones. Emergency teams stand ready to intervene as soon as access to isolated communities is restored.
