Increased traffic was reported at the ports of Attica on Sunday as Greece experienced the first major return wave of August vacationers.
Ferries arriving at the ports of Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio were carrying large numbers of passengers and vehicles, with many vessels arriving full.
The Hellenic Coast Guard is expected to release detailed figures Monday on the scale of the first major return wave of the summer.
More than 80,000 passengers departed from the three main ports during the current three-day period, according to the report.
The large number of travelers heading back is expected to mark the beginning of the broader post-vacation return, although many people remain away from Athens and their vacations are continuing.
As a result, the Greek capital is expected to maintain a somewhat quieter pace for a little longer.
