The fire planes have arrived. Summer is here. :)

29 y-o Syrian national arrested at Kef airport passport control yesterday for attempting to use forged travel documents and illegal exit of the country.


Claims that 2,000,000 € intended for the rehabilitation of last year's earthquake victims was spent on admin costs, including wages.


Unconfirmed but heard that Dmitry Rybolovlev, owner (lease holder) of Skorpios, has promised to contribute 20,000 € to Levkas Medical Association towards doctors' wages for six months.
