Freezing overnight temperatures, particularly in northern and central Greece, have caused serious traffic problems and have led to the closure of dozens of schools.
The region of Attica, located on the eastern edge of Greece, is home to the capital Athens, but also includes the islands of Salamis, Aegina, Angistri, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Kythira and Antikythera.
The region is unusually blanketed in white as the ‘Beast from the East’ brings snow and travel disruption across Europe, with Britain bracing for heavy snow showers later this week.
Temperatures colder than the Arctic Circle could be seen in some parts of the UK this week and chilly winds are forecasted to make temperatures feel as cold as -15C.

As freak weather sweeps across Europe, people living in the Balkan Peninsula have been told to prepare for multiple school closures and travel disruptions.
The frigid air from Siberia is to be joined by snowfall across the Balkans into tonight with more wintery weather set to grip the region over the next few days.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson said: “These storms will track farther south compared to the previous storm, which will mean snow reaching as far south as the mountains of Greece.
“Because of how cold this air mass is, snow will even reach some lower elevations, especially away from the coast.”
Macedonia, western and northern Bulgaria and southern Romania are expected to face the brunt of the freezing weather.
Snow is expected to reach 1ft high in those regions.
Motorists have been warned to pack a winter survival kit in case they become stranded.
The snow will also increase the risk of avalanches in mountainous regions of southern Europe.
The Siberian blasts causing havoc in the UK are also forecasted to cause chaos in Bosnia Herzegovina, Bucharest, Romania and Serbia.
