We came in just over a week ago. Easyjet then Aegean from Athens. Auto check-in and auto baggage check-in. The couple in front of us was 100 gm overweight and the auto check-in wouldn't accept the bag.

Looks as if Agean are now super strict.

We have three villas which are rental villas. When we purchased them there were no t.v. in them. We did a survey over 12 months asking our guests T.V or not. The census was no, "so nice to get the kids away from them". Over the years we have added small T.V s with DVD players in them. And ...

Did mine today, in and out 15 mins. All that was needed a photo, licence and £5.50. Must say surprised how easy. Had i think the same problem as "jackdaw" as don't seem to understand when you have multi driving classes on your licence. Had to explain HGV entitlements.

The only time have seen any help (transfer ambassador) is when the first leg has been delayed and rush you (still through customs) to the waiting plane.

Voni " It seems I can remain “in transit” at Athens airport, "

Have never known this to happen even when travelling both legs with the same airline. Where or who told you this would take with a (big) pinch of salt.

Hi, Have no idea how cats are treated at Athens airport but do know you come out of the arrival hall go up the stairs and have to re-go through security. There is no direct transfer.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of whit. But you seem to be correct. !!!!!

If you saw our carpark you would think there isn't any soil left, look like we have it all.

And the best of luck. As i found out our topography doesn't match theirs and have now spent some 10 months trying to sort out.

And even with an engineer are still trying to rectify two points.

If Insured with " Ergo" be aware that while the property and property walls are insured none of the surrounding/balcony or retaining walls are covered.

As i have just found out to my cost.

You should try explaining my father's name is the same as mine. That does not compute into Greek logic.

The day after the British government announced that the country is fully preparing for a No Deal, Brussels have revealed their stance. As one journalist described it, “EU blinks”. Though of course Brussels talk of disruption in the event of the UK walking away, there are some interesting revelations...

Cant recommend Trasferwise enough. Never had a problem with them and all transfers no longer than 24 hours into Greek account.

Barclays charge a monthly fee (at least they did when i looked into it ) , H.S.B.C is free

No, you can transfer in from any of the currency exchange companies. And transfer out to where you want. But can't put cash in but you can (if you wish) take out cash (Euros )with prior notice at any H.S.B.C Branch.

I don't know if you are aware but H.S.B.C has a current account that allows you to hold Euros in that account and then you can transfer to where you want. Transfer cost is 6 Euros.
