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

Six-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Amy Van Dyken severed her spinal cord in a quad bike accident over the weekend, and she told emergency workers she could not move her toes or feel anything touching her legs.

Airlines may no longer be able to use technical faults as a blanket excuse to avoid compensating passengers for flight delays following a Court of Appeal judgement today.

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.
