Heavy traffic was recorded on the two main motorways leading out of Athens on Orthodox Good Friday, as more of the capital’s residents quit the city to spend Easter in the countryside, ANA reports.
According to traffic police, the problems were worst on the Athens-Corinth national highway, with delays and a 500-meter tailback at the Elefsina toll plaza, while the Athens-Lamia highway was busy but with a steady flow of traffic.
There was also heavy traffic from the Elefsina tolls up until Megara and Kinetta.
Police estimate that the Easter exodus will reach its highest point on Good Friday and be completed on Saturday morning.
