BBC-Greek Series

The web BBC articles dedicated to the Greek Economy are increasing. The last posted video article is:

Can tourism save the Greek economy?


In that quite attractive question, may we reply? Well, answer is: tourism definitely can help. Tourists in fact help local, at their majority, family based companies around tourism. But their money, even if you pay big tourism complexes, I really doubt which part is collected by the public.

Anyway, keep supporting the people that you know and you trust. You do not help Greece, you support people that you are satisfy with and you enjoy their services.

Ciao.

The Train is back!

The train is back! I read with great pleasure that the old train connecting Volos with Milies (a well known village of Pelion Mountain) is ready to start operating again! The train is 106 years old and has been implemented by the engineer Evaristo De Kiriko, father of the famous painter Gorgio De Kiriko. The train was constantly operating till 1971. The train was used for transporting products from Volos to Pelion and vice verca. This year the train strats its trips from 11th of April and from 1991 is used only for touristic purposes. The trip is about 40 minutes and passegengers will view one of the most beautifull parts of Pelion.


The local name of the train is: Μουντζούρης meaning roughly in English "grease monkey".
For those of you loving technicalities, Mountzouris travels over rails of 60cms and is the only train of that sort in Greece. Mountzouris has its brother in Belgium where both trains work over the same sort of rails!

Summer in Halkidiki

The summer is now over, and I really hope that you enjoyed your
vacations. This Summer for Halkidki (Chalkidiki) was a peacefull one. Many Tourists around, nice weather and more or a less, a nice summer.

Regarding me, I made a couple of visits. I went to Olympus, I stayed at Litochoro, where then I could walk up to the mountain. I spent also some days at Oraiocastro in Thessaloniki, and I understood that this area has a long property development. I spent suprisingly enough one week at Athens, where I went to Agioi Apostoloi, a sea area near to Athens.A lovely Greek summer there too. I really enjoyed walking at the street near to the sea of my house.

But later on this month, I will start posting some more particular news about the real estate bussiness in Greece.

Many wishes for a creative winter for now.
