--- Quote ---Tourist charged £510 for two drinks and snacks at restaurant in Greece
A tourist has been charged £510 for two drinks and snacks at a restaurant while on holiday in Greece. The woman visited the eatery in the holiday hotspot with her daughter, aged 19.
The incident reportedly unfolded in Mykonos. She fumed: “We spent a beautiful day at the beach but please, warn your future customers that the restaurant-bar we visited, charged us €600 for two cocktails and a portion of crab legs.
“While we knew that the bill would not exceed €200, suddenly they asked us to pay €600!" The woman says she and her daughter refused to pay.
But men stood in the doorway and blocked them from leaving, she claims. The only "additional thing" they had used were some deckchairs for three hours, she added in her scathing rant.
Having been informed by locals this type of incident is all too common in the holiday destination, the mum threatened to file a police report.
She fumed: "Leaving, the locals told me that customers constantly alert the police about similar incidents concerning the specific store, but nothing is ever done."

--- Quote ---The Hellenic Initiative Launches “Plant A Tree In Greece”
The Hellenic Initiative has launched a campaign entitled “Plant a Tree In Greece,” which aims to have a measurable positive impact on Greece by reforesting the land and restoring the livelihoods destroyed in the wildfires of 2021.
In response to the crisis in the summer of 2021, The Hellenic Initiative launched an online campaign for wildfire relief and raised over $600,000 from 4,500 donors in 47 countries.
The program furthers THI’s dual mission: crisis relief and economic development in Greece. Trees will be planted to re-balance the natural environment from the damage of the wildfires, as well as to restore the livelihoods of bee, olive, and lemon farmers destroyed by the fires.
THI has partnered with We4All, an award-winning non-profit organization based in Greece for the planting of trees.
