One dies as extreme cold hits Greece
A 66-year-old German national died in southwestern Greece as a cold weather front was sweeping through the country, local media reported on Monday.
The victim was taking a stroll on Sunday by the sea in Kyparissia town with her husband when waves swept her away, the report said.
The couple were living in a nearby village.
Due to strong winds and heavy rainfall, ferries remained docked for hours at several ports during the weekend, while material damages were reported in many regions.
Northern suburbs of Athens were also affected by strong winds, which knocked down trees and caused power cuts, according to the report.
