Confirmation from the Navy due to adverse weather conditions
Adverse weather conditions forced the Italian Navy vessel Palinuro to remain in the Greek port of Heraklion.
For this reason, the vessel will not be able to anchor in the waters of Lido, as was planned for the first days of August.
The news of the unexpected impediment, anticipated by the commander of the Palinuro, Francesco Giangarrà, was regretfully confirmed to the Administration by Massimo Tozzi, commander of the Navy General Staff. 1 year ago
