Athens awakened to a coating of snow today, thanks to a storm system and a shot of cold from central Europe penetrating south, into the Mediterranean.
Snow covered several of the city's famed landmarks, including the Acropolis hill, the archaeological site of the temple of Zeus and the Academy of Athens.
It even reached Artemida, a seaside town about 65km east-southeast of Athens.
In the Greek capital, the snow closed schools and disrupted bus and rail operations in the northern suburbs. According to Greek Reporter, "many roads" were closed due to icy conditions.
Snow in Athens is not uncommon. The Greek Reporter found that it falls about 4.5 days per year on average in the city.
