Minor incident in Fiskardo yesterday, one of the crew fell down the steps on board the Orestis and was taken to Argostoli hospital by ambulance.


The contents of the Archaeological Museum in Argostoli could be (temporarily?) transferred to Lixouri as there's suitable vacant premises

On Radio 4 this morning this sounded like it could be a major decision that would have a big impact on airlines and make the situation very different for pax.  Might also put a few quid on the price of tickets.
