Greek Paganism legally recognized as ‘known religion’ in Greece

ATHENS, Greece – On April 9th, the Supreme Council of Ethnic Hellenes (YSEE), a religious organization working to restore the indigenous religion of Greece, put out a statement saying Greek polytheism has received legal status in Greece. Prior to this, Greek Pagans did not have religious freedoms such as the ability to buy land to create houses of worship nor could Pagan clergy perform marriage ceremonies.

First cruise line for Chinese passengers to set sail

The first Celestyal Cruises ship carrying a group of Chinese passengers will set sail from Piraeus on Friday, signaling the opening of this huge market for Greek destinations – a target shared by Athens and Beijing, and also by Piraeus Port and Cosco alike.

It will feature Chinese crew members, Chinese cuisine and Chinese guides for the Greek sites.

Kef in the Sun: https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/3356243/isles-goats-are-ideal-neighbours-in-haven-of-tranquility-kefalonia/

Nice review - more suited to the Telegraph than the Sun even if it makes Kef sound like a complete backwater!  Perhaps you could say that if you stayed in a stone villa for 4 pax near Fiskardo going from £1020 pw (presumably £2500+ high season).  Makes the interesting point that food in Fiskardo is cheaper than on Ibiza but that might depend on where you were on Ibiza.

Yep, I did wonder how many Sun readers would be booking villas at that price.
