The atmosphere will be suffocating with African dust hitting large parts of Greece on Wednesday, according to the latest weather bulletin.

Meteorologists have warned of a significant surge of African dust expected during the Holy Week in Greece. The dust wave has begun to descend from the west.

The "nightmare" of African dust has returned to Greece today. Crete is expected to turn into the Sahara again, while the dust cloth is estimated to reach the Peloponnese again.
