Six people have been arrested, including five on Kefalonia, for at least thirty scams across Greece involving taking deposits following fake advertising on the internet of cars, boats, etc.

Greece considers second lockdown after tourists bring spike of cases

Greece could reintroduce some lockdown measures, after the country has seen a spike in Covid-19 cases following the return of tourism.

There are now more active infections in Greece than at any other point during the pandemic – 2,205 people in Greece are known to have the virus right now.

On Friday, 60 people were confirmed to have contracted the virus, the highest daily number since April 21. More than 100 new cases reported in the last 10 days have been among incoming tourists.

British holidaymakers are due to return to Greece from July 15, with UK flights resuming on that date. However, Greek authorities are now considering introducing stricter lockdown measures, potentially from as early as tomorrow (July 13).

Classic FM won't have to change name to Classic DAB - well, not for another 10 years at least

Been 20 years since the threat of AM/FM being switched off.
They still try to suggest DAB is superior to FM
Yeah, of course...that'll be in the same way CDs are better than vinyl then.

The stalled take-up of DAB is encouraging for those who like their music.
