Today’s bank rates:
1 €UR = £0.9081 GBP
1 €UR = $1.1213 USD
£1 GBP = 1.1012 €UR
$1 USD = 0.8918 €UR

Based on Alpha Bank exchange rates, these are widely used by exchange agencies in Greece.
Other banks likely to offer a different rate which may be marginally higher or lower.
Banks and foreign exchange offices normally charge standard 2% commission.
You may get a better rate changing your holiday money in advance at e.g the
Post Office.
NB: some f-ex agencies advertise "No Commission".
Invariably, they deduct commission before they (don't) advertise the rate.
Foreign exchange offices are businesses, not charities.

Alarming rise in teen criminality

The worrying rise in juvenile criminality has alerted authorities, who have embarked on a campaign to collect data to analyze and, ultimately, tackle the phenomenon.

Documented incidents involving hooded boys aged as young as 12 wielding and using knives have proliferated, according to data collected by the Hellenic Police (ELAS), which has bemoaned the growing rate of teens involved in violent beatings, robberies, and even homicides.

Apparently a couple of teen gangs wander the streets of Argostoli at night, sometimes clashing with one another.

Keir Starmer says '99.9pc of women don't have a penis'

The Labour leader also promised there would be “no rolling back” of women’s rights if he was elected prime minister and stressed that “99.9 per cent of women… haven’t got a penis”.

Sir Keir said: “The lesson from Scotland is that if you can’t take the public with you on a journey of reform, then you’re probably not on the right journey."

Gone are the days when, if asked, you could reply, "one of each". Well, not unless you've got at least ninety four kids.

Construction running riot on Mykonos

A vast wall erected by a bar/restaurant is seen on Panormos beach on Mykonos. Kathimerini traveled to the popular Aegean island to investigate allegations of out-of-control building violations after the brutal attack on an archaeologist opposing such rampant construction. It found that 5,540 construction licenses were issued on the island in 2018-2023, of which 3,488 did not detail what they were for. “They get a license for a small project and then go ahead and do whatever they want,” an official with the Ephorate of Cycladic Antiquities, which claims that there are organized rackets operating behind the building boom, told Kathimerini.
