If possible STOP offenders.

We offer our deep sympathy, empathy and support for those affected in the recent and current fires in Greece.

Greece in common with many countries has had to contend with forest and mountain fires of a great magnitude this summer.

It would be a good idea for the under-utilised public sector employees (some of the huge number in Greece do have time to spare in their “jobs”) to be put on fire-watch rotas. Although not a cure, the early spotting of fires before they rage out of control would be a help.

Perhaps those on unemplyment benefit may also spend a day a week in this role.

It would feel, for those involved, like volunteering (a good feeling) and would also confer on those “drafted” the great experience of being very useful.

A thought perhaps…

To mark, celebrate, help you enjoy and experience the August full moon, many archaeological sites across Greece and around Crete will stay open tonight ( Wednesday, August 9 ) until 1.00 AM ( on Thursday morning ).

Amongst the sites to see the sights at:
-Acropolis ( Athens ) see the guide for information http://www.cretetravel.com/Athens/Athens_mini_guide/Athens_mini_guide-Museums.htm
-Ancient Olympia ( see some delights of the Peloponnese http://www.superbgreece.com/Peloponnese/index.htm )
Nemea (also in the Peloponnese)
-Delphi
-Sounio (in the aftermath of Lord Byron )
-Aptera (just east of Chania on the island of Crete)
-In other areas and islands ask around or just linger later over your iced espresso or zesto elliniko.
