When attempting to change my UK licence for a Greek one, there was chaos. This was due to the expectation that I had to take a written test and a driving test. No one knew when this would be as the test examiners were on strike. Each month I had to return to the Lasithi Driving licence office for a ...

Please be aware that if you only have the 5 year permit (buff I think) you may be required to provide a number of documents to proceed to the next stage. One of those documents is a Tax return. If memory serves correctly when my wife took hers to the immigration office she had to show current and pr...

Warick quoted I can't imagine that happening. Boozy party types coming to Greece on holiday. Never heard of that occurring. Not heard of the town of Malie, 50k east of Heraklion?. Had a terrible reputation for young Brits partying, stabbings, punch-ups etc. Thankfully 2 years ago the Police stated ...

Send your car keys to a trusted friend.
I am in the process of taking 3 cars, not mine, to the test centre. All three sent me their car keys.

Tear down all the British Cotton Mills and of course Manchester. All thrived from the USA Cotton trade. And whist we are on that subject, what about the Slavery in the UK, in particular the Cotton Industry where workers would catch a disease caused by cotton in the air being sucked into their lungs....

One of the Taverna owners in Agios Nikolaos has put together this excellent 9 minute video. It deserves an Oscar. The man behind it is MANOLIS of ΠΟΡΤΕΣ https://www.anatolh.com/2020/06/11/%ce%bf%ce%b9-raki-busters-%cf%83%cf%8e%ce%b6%ce%bf%cf%85%ce%bd-%cf%84%ce%bf%ce%bd-%ce%ba%cf%8c%cf%83%ce%bc%ce%bf...

I live in the Kalo Chorio area (Lasithi).

I think that you will find on the Wednesday the Gentleman had a second test which was found negative

The 'Ferryman' Taverna still exists in Elounda sea front, to the right as you drop down the hill to the town centre. It is well signposted and plays very much on it's fame in the film 'Who Pays the Ferryman'.

I hope that he is well and not in Hospital.

Thanks
