Some 2,500 refugees, most of them from Syria, disembarked in mainland Greece on Monday from the eastern Aegean islands. Another vessel brought 1,745 refugees on Sunday night, a coast guard officer told dpa in Athens. The refugees, mostly Syrians, were brought from the Aegean islands of Leros, Kos, Lesbos, Kalymnos, Samos and Agathonisi, not far from the Turkish coast. The vessels docked at the main port of Piraeus, near Athens.
