Polygyros

Greece is grappling with a severe water shortage that impacts both its islands and mainland, according to Kathimerini.

A town in Central Macedonia flooded after days of rain, the head of the region's civil protection department, Babis Stergiadis, told the state-run Athens-Macedonian News Agency on Wednesday.

Stergiadis said the water level behind the prefecture's administrative offices in the town of Polygyros had reached half a meter.
