(6 Nov 2015) Thousands of refugees and migrants reached the Greek mainland from the eastern Aegean islands on Friday after the country's seamen's union called off rolling 48-hour ferry strikes.
The strike, which began on Monday, had stranded an estimated 25,000 people on the islands.
The Blue Star Patmos carrying some 2,000 passengers arrived in the port of Piraeus from the island of Chios, after ferries began operating again on Friday morning.
Several ships dedicated to refugees set sail from the islands of Lesbos and Chios, while others were taking ships from other islands on the regular passenger ferry service.
The ferries are heading to Greece's main port of Piraeus near Athens and the northern port cities of Thessaloniki and Kavala.
More than 600,000 people have reached Greece from Turkey so far this year.
The vast majority don't want to stay, and head north through the Balkans to other, more prosperous European Union countries.
