According to rodiaki.gr, drivers who drive after Kalathos should be especially careful. And this is because the heavy rainfall has created very difficult conditions since the roads are full of water and stones. Especially from Kalathos to the “Gadoura” bridge, things are very difficult, as shown in the relevant video.

According to the latest information, the rainfall has also created unpleasant situations in Pylona where there is talk of flooded houses. The volunteer groups are on their feet and doing what they can both in Pylona and in Kalathos and Lardo.
