Two people drowned after their moored sailing boat sank in western Greece as the country was lashed with torrential rain and thunderstorms, coast guard officials said early on Monday.
The storms hit western Greece over the weekend causing flooding and disruption to transport.
Parts of the national road network to the Peloponnese peninsula were cut off to traffic because of extensive flooding, police officials said.
Cars stuck in the mud after a heavy storm hit the village of Kineta, Greece, 25 November 2019. The storm named ‘Gyrionis’ triggered heavy rainfall in the region of Attica and other parts of Greece causing damages in homes and roads. The Athens-Corinth highway has been closed.
