Rough sea in the Aegean: Tough journeys for ferry crews and passengers (video, pictures)

When strong winds are blowing in the Aegean Sea, the ferry and ship crews, the captains and the dock workers at the ports of the Greek islands deserve a special credit for the tough job they do  under extreme weather conditions. But also passengers often display a good portion of courage to withstand long journeys in vessels trembling and shaking for hours.

The passage from Piraeus to Herakleio, Crete, turned into a nightmare for passengers and the crew of “Knossos Palace” due to the winds blowing with intensity of up to 9 Beaufort on Saturday night.
