With Greek fuel truck drivers still out on strike after eight days, and no petrol delivered in that time, the country is suffering from a severe fuel shortage.

Three quarters of all filling stations are empty, with long queues in front of those that do have stocks for sale.

Ferry services between the Greek mainland and the Aegean islands have been disrupted, while on the island of Crete, tourists are being advised not to hire cars because only one in ten petrol stations is open.

The striking truck drivers are demanding that the distribution fees be raised 13 percent.

The government will go no higher than five percent.

Jag kom o tänka med en rysning när vi kom med bussen från Plakias till
Chania för att ta en taxi ut till flygplatsen. Vi hade 1,5 timma tillgodo och
fick reda på att det var taxistrejk när vi klev av bussen. Vi fick naturligtvis
kalla kårar efter ryggraden. Det hela löste sig snabbt med hjälp av en dubbelt
så dyr svarttaxi. Nöden har ingen lag som sagt.
