The number of refugees and immigrants staying at passenger terminals of Piraeus port exceeds 4500, while coastguard officers have already started the distribution of an informative leaflet to convince them to leave the port.

The leaflet informs the illegal immigrants and refugees that the borders are closed and that when they reach the refugee centers they will be informed on their right to apply for asylum and the relocation program.

It also mentions that the refugees will be informed about the family reunification process, while authorities will provide them with legal assistance and economic aid in order to return to their country of origin, if their asylum application is rejected, or if they want to leave Greece.

On Sunday, ‘Ariadne’ passenger ferry arrived at Piraeus port carrying 13 migrants and refugees, while on Saturday only one coach left from the port carrying 30 people to transfer them to the refugee camp of Agios Andreas.
