https://hotel-sofia.gr/ is well liked by people I know. Very close to the airport.

From the British Embassy in Greece facebook page (Brits in Greece). "We’ve had some questions from UK state pensioners (S1 form holders) about how their healthcare cover will be affected after we leave the EU. Here’s what you (and any S1 dependants) need to know about the future of your healthc...

Can anyone familiar with M&S in Heraklion please advise whether they have a good range of men's suits? Plenty on the website, I'm well aware, but want to check quality/fit without the faff of possibly having to return. I have not visited them this year, but last year and on other year visits th...

Alternatively have you tried asking in a Cosmote shop. Ask them to deactivate the automatic package selection for you. Warwick Yes Warwick, this whole thread started following a visit to Germanos in Souda who insisted that we could not avoid the 'free gift'. Once we had topped up the phone in the G...

I always maintain that people should be able to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes but I wouldn't mention it if you ever have to have a psychiatric evaluation, Jeff. Warwick Ha ha .. Yes I love all vegetables ..but not a great fan of sweet stuff ..when my neighbours make me Gre...

Reluctant though I am to disagree with my friend Tim, there is nothing undemocratic about the Lib Dem policy, as it represents a return to the fundamental principle of Parliamentary democracy -- that no parliament can bind its successor.

...Avoid Ierapetra on St George's Day (23 April)... Out of curiosity what do the St George churches and the towns/cities with St George's as their main church do when 23 April is within lent? Individuals normally put off their name day celebration until after Pascha, usually to Easter Monday. Does ...

That worked, Bob.

I guess we just look at life differently. Some of us feel that the removal of our rights is something worthy of complaint and we will do what we can to ensure that we can continue to live here. We came here in 2006. We have already survived the Greek crisis, with its fairly drastic effect on our in...

The above is my understanding too. But Brexit has ground down the 2 expats in this house so far that we'd almost welcome a poor deal just to avoid a no-deal, if only to allow breathing space to Dec 2020 to sell up and return to the UK. It has ground down the 2 immigrants in this house as well, Glen...

Hi, altohb, just wanted to say huge thanks for postal proxy tip. It’s now all done and dusted and a great weight off my mind. Glad you got it sorted, Kookla! It wasn't my idea originally, but I was certainly pleased to have come across it! Given the tight timetable for this election it is definitel...
