Greece E-Tracking Health Costs for Visiting EU Citizens, Foreigners

Greece’s new Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias from the ruling New Democracy has had sent to public hospitals and healthcare facilities a notice that an electronic system will be implemented to record all expenses for treating European Union citizens, foreign visitors, migrants and others.

In a statement, Kikilias said that “not a euro of Greek taxpayers’ money will be squandered. Greek taxpayers will no longer pay for services provided by ESY (the national healthcare entity) to foreign (insurance fund) beneficiaries”.

Greece has most motorcycle deaths per million in EU

The risk factor is greater in southern European countries where the weather is warmer and drier and motorcycle use more frequent.

In Greece, one in five (19 percent) vehicles on the roads are motorcycles and nearly a third (29.5 percent) of road accidents involve motorcycles.

The VICENTIOS DAMODOS briefly out of service on the Lixouri-Argostoli crossing after a cooling pipe to the left main engine sprang a leak. Quickly repaired in Lixouri port and re-certified as fit to sail.

HOLIDAY HORROR Family’s TUI holiday hell after arriving at Greek resort to find ‘building site’ strewn with chainsaws next to 30ft cliff
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9777157/tui-holiday-nightmare-corfu-building-site-chainsaw-30ft-cliff/

Hotel is right on top of the Canal d'Amour - in the UK (and many other places) it would be a protected area of outstanding natural beauty  :nein:

Only had a quick read, comes across to me that they took loads of pictures but didn't complain to their rep while on holiday  :iroll:
