Heavy rain struck the Peloponnese: parked vehicles were swept into the sea by floodwaters in Karavostasi village in Mani province, while the villages of Kokkala, Alipa, and Itilo also suffered severe damage. Anadolu Agency cited local media reporting based on Greek news agency AMNA.
Mani Deputy Mayor Yeorgia Lirofoni told AMNA that numerous homes and shops had flooded and that roads and bridges sustained serious damage. Lirofoni said residents who wished to spend the night safely were relocated to sports halls in undamaged neighboring areas.
Greece's Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis announced on his X account that a woman in Itilo village was injured by a lightning strike while inside a vehicle.
According to Greece's Meteorological Service, wind speeds reached 112 km/h at Penteli Peak, 107 km/h in Karystos on Euboea Island, and 104 km/h on Tinos Island. Villages in Mani were among those where infrastructure renewal work had remained incomplete following the Peloponnese's 2021 fire season.
