Eat beans and live longer: One reason why many Ikarians live to be 100
As one of the world's five designated "Blue Zones", Ikaria, a small Greek island in the eastern Aegean, has lower rates of chronic disease than most other places, and its more than 8,000 full-time residents have some of the longest life expectancies in the world. In fact, one-third of Ikarians live past 90 years of age, and factors such as strong social and family ties, exercise that is integrated into daily life and frequent napping are thought to be why these island inhabitants often live to be centenarians.
Another important contributing factor is what they eat. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20240322-eat-beans-and-live-longer-one-reason-why-many-ikarians-live-to-be-100
Well I have the napping part mastered Also guessing that the beans are aiding and adding impetus to any walking exercise

Plane trees ravaged by killer fungus
A deadly fungus targeting plane trees has reached epidemic proportions in Greece. So far, more than 52,000 plane trees have died, and there is a risk that most of these deciduous trees will be lost. https://www.ekathimerini.com/society/1234574/plane-trees-ravaged-by-killer-fungus/If I remember correctly the plane trees in Tzannata plateia were identified as suffering from a deadly disease a few years back and were injected with an 'anti-virus' that restored them to health.

Two Canadair aircraft in Corfu for third day running to help fight Albania fire
Two Greek Canadair CL 415 firefighting aircraft have been flying In the skies over Corfu for the third day running. They are based at the Airport Fire Station and are being used for a firefighting operation to combat the large fire in Albania.
The two aircraft were dispatched by the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Vasilis Kikilias, to provide assistance, as wildfires are ongoing in the protected area of Pishe-Poro in the Fier region of Albania.
Greece promptly responded to the request of the Albanian authorities through the European Civil Protection agency rescEU.
The Canadair planes arrived at the Corfu base fully equipped and with double crews, as well as engineers. They refuel from Corfu Airport and collect water from the sea. They have a capacity of 5.5 tons of water, allowing them to make even targeted partial drops, always under the guidance of ground firefighting coordinators. https://enimerosi.com/news/82159/Two-Canadair-aircraft-in-Corfu-for-third-day-to-help-fight-Albania-fire
