Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
October 7: Elections are over in Greece and the PASOKs are in and the NEW DEMOCRACY party is OUT. PASOK is the socialistas in case you didn't know . 3rd Generation George A. Papandreau takes the helm. Don't expect too much to change ... specially in the short term ... maybe longer hours for shoppers.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
October first is the official date of OLYMPIC AIRLINES becoming OLYMPIC AIR ... don't know what that means exactly but you might have trouble with reservations at that time on that or those airlines.
