Monarch airline agrees £165m investment from Greybull

UK airline Monarch has settled worries over its immediate future by agreeing a £165m investment from Greybull Capital. The fresh financing has allowed the airline to renew its membership of the Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Atol) scheme - the scheme that refunds customers if a travel firm collapses. It also means the airline can invest in new aircraft.

Heard the old veg market stalls in Argostoli are being dismantled as part of the 'new look' capital. Area to be paved?

Construction of Votanikos Mosque to start

Works for the erection of an Islamic Mosque at Votanikos are expected to start within the next days. The Greek Navy had granted an abandoned building to this end, which will be converted into a religious site for thousands of Muslims currently residing in Athens. The building of the Mosque is estimated to cost 887,000 Euros to the Greek taxpayer. The request for erecting the Mosque had been submitted 33 years ago, but the project was mired in court appeals and red tape, delaying procedures.
