Six of the Most Harrowing Minutes Ever as Ferryboat Tries to Dock at Greek Island

It’s an old video— dating to 2013 when the Adamants Korais ferryboat attempted to dock during a storm at the port of the Greek island of Kimolos.

It was March 25, 2013— a symbolic day for the ferryboat named after the man who is credited with laying the groundwork for the Greek War for Independence.

The winds that day were reported to be 9 beaufort.

The video was first posted to The Pappas Post Facebook page more than five years ago but continues to be the most viewed video we’ve ever published with nearly 3 million views.

So as the weather begins to change in Greece and Poseidon begins to churn the waters after his summer slumber, take a breath, click play and hope you’re never on a ferryboat during a storm.
