A cold snap in Greece has halted ferry services and highway traffic and dusted the Acropolis and other ancient monuments in Athens with snow.
The inclement weather including high winds prompted authorities in greater Athens in close schools and courthouses and suspend debates in parliament.
The agency said the harsh weather sweeping across southern Greece would mostly affect areas north of the capital and the nearby island of Evia and is expected to last through to Wednesday.
“The bad weather is intense.”
