From what I hear, the big quakes not only razed parts of Paliki but also raised parts about 20 cm., thus seems the beach at the Livadi marshland has been extended and is now quite a nice sandy beach.

A STIRLINGSHIRE couple had a holiday from hell moment when they arrived at their Corfu beach hotel only to find it closed for refurbishment for three weeks.

Stranded in the rain and pitch dark, they had to rely on a friendly transfer driver to take them to the nearest hostelry.

But when Don later tried to claim their money back from travel firm On the Beach, they insisted their accommodation provider was liable for the chaos.

Match-fixing is a "major problem" in Greece where 12.8 percent of players interviewed in a recent survey said they had been approached and asked to manipulate a game in the last year.

The survey, conducted by Birbeck, University of London on behalf of the world players' union FIFPro, said it was also a major problem in Italy, although the number of cases that have been exposed may have been a sign of willingness to tackle the problem.

Footballers in England, meanwhile, said they did not believe that match-fixing had affected the game. None of those questioned said they had been approached to fix a match in the last year or had any reason to believe that any matches in their league had been manipulated during that period.
