Mystery deaths on Aegina being investigated

When police arrived, they found that the door had been broken into and evidence that drawers had been rifled through. They also found the remains of a small fire, which does not, however, justify the extent of the burns found on the charred bodies.

Fire experts are at the scene, while a coroner’s examination of the bodies is expected to shed more light on how the two died. The possibility of foul play is not being ruled out.

Rent your home out to a tourist… the easy way!
The third bailout helps those interested in leasing out their homes on a temporary basis cut through the red tape

Those who wish to lease out their property on a temporary basis need to register the details of the rentals online with the Ministry of Administrative Reform and e-Governance so as to obtain a registration number for the lease in accordance with Greek tax rules.
