Dead baby found at bottom of light shaft

A coroner’s examination of a dead baby found at the bottom of a light shaft in an apartment block in the Athens neighborhood of Nea Smyrni on Saturday indicated that the infant was born healthy and died around 12 hours before its body was discovered.

The coroner concluded that the baby boy, which was found wrapped in a sheet with the umbilical cord still attached, probably died due to pathological causes following its abandonment.

In February a dead infant was found in a garbage dumpster in the Athens suburb of Petroupoli.

Air seat planning points to another record year for tourism

The outlook for tourism traffic passing through Greece’s regional airports, based on airlines’ end-March planning for air seats for the summer season, is particularly encouraging as it points to an 18 percent increase on last year, or 2.98 million more visitors.

Although this appears to promise yet another year of records for Greek tourism, the research director of the Greek Tourism Confederation’s Institute, Aris Ikkos, warns that the planning constantly changes as the season unfolds and arrivals are below seat numbers, depending on aircraft seat occupancy rates.
