Sounds as though the four Roma families remaining on the site of the long existing Roma camp / the new abattoir have agreed to move in permanent accommodation funded by the municipality, as the other Roma families have done.

Protesters attack EU asylum offices on Greece's Lesbos

Asylum-seekers attacked the premises of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) on the island of Lesbos on Monday, protesting against delays in dealing with asylum claims, Greek and EU authorities said.

About 70 people, most from Pakistan and Bangladesh, threw rocks and burning blankets at EASO containers inside the Moria migrant camp, damaging three of those, a Greek police spokesman for the island said.

WELCOME TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FERRY IN THE WORLD!

Fior Di Levante, the first F/B of Levante Ferries, was named after Zakynthos island aka Fioro tou Levante (= Flower of the East) and sailed for its maiden voyage in December 2014, bringing a new breeze of luxury, comfort, as well as advanced technology at the Ionian Sea.

Fior Di Levante was designed according to the most advanced technology specifications, in order to offer absolute safety and a fast and a pleasant journey to all passengers even under the worst weather conditions.

On April 2016, during the Ferry Shipping Conference in Stockholm, Fior di Levante was awarded the renown International Shippax Award 2015 as the most beautiful ferry not only in Greece but also in the world.

Apparently Sami coast guard detained it in port yesterday morning following an electrical problem with the anchor operation. Three passengers heading across to Ithaka were provided with alternate transport by the ferry company.
