Recent developments related to the war in Iran have led to significant complications for Greek travelers currently in Vietnam. A group of Greeks was scheduled to return home to Athens on Sunday after a connection in Doha. However, their flight was abruptly canceled due to the escalating conflict, resulting in stranded travelers who have also encountered visa issues, leading to fines accumulating daily. Many have reported a lack of assistance from both the Greek embassy and the airline, exacerbating their plight.

One traveler, Manos Gialouris from Lesvos, expressed frustration over the inadequate response from the airline after the cancellation. The only support provided was a link to a form that was inaccessible, leaving them in a precarious position without proper guidance or support. The situation is compounded further by the fact that the airline's offices are located in Doha, making communication nearly impossible for those stranded.

The inability of travelers to return home has not only caused anxiety among them but also distress for their families and friends back in Greece. They have reached out to the Greek embassy for assistance, highlighting the need for prompt government intervention to aid its citizens caught in such unfortunate circumstances abroad, especially in the context of rising global tensions.
