Correction

I have made a mistake in assuming that all banks take a commission if you withdraw money from their ATM. It doesn’t depend on the ATM of the bank that you use but on the bank that you withdraw the money from. I am sorry if I caused confusion. So if you have your National Bank of Greece card and you withdraw money from a ATM of the National Bank of Greece you will not be charged. If you use another card from another bank there you can be charged. It depends on the bank. Sorry again.

New life

It is great to see that in many streets of the village of Skopelos new shops are arising and filling up the empty spaces that were there for a long time. The shops that were there before now have neighbours again. Take a walk in the village and dare to go higher up in the streets than you have been before. It’s good for your ankles and nice to see all the streets filled up. People are taking a chance again and believe, I think, that the new businesses will run well. We wish them all the best and have a great season!!
