Skiathos

One of the world’s most impressive aircraft will be on display for those approaching Skiathos International Airport today, Monday, September 16, at approximately 2:30 p.m.

The aircraft, Embrear’s Tech Eagle, will make a demonstration flight, and several airline CEOs, the Brazilian ambassador and others will be on board.

I am full of good memories from my recent holiday experience on the Aegean island of Skiathos, but there is one thing that really stood out: the public transportation.

With the situation in public transportation being what it is in most parts of Greece, any exception is worth mentioning.

Greek islands as well as alternative European destinations or those that favor short road trips in the surrounding areas, such as Marseille, Majorca, Bordeaux and Istanbul, are in the preferences of Greek travelers for the long weekend of Pentecost.

A double-digit increase was recorded in passenger traffic at all the country's airports in the year's first four months, on an annual comparison basis.

Greece and especially our islands (Crete, Rhodes, Ionian and NE Aegean islands, Sporades) are a favourite holiday destination

Located in the small namesake village of south-western Skiathos, it is considered one of the most beautiful throughout Greece.

The regional government of Thessaly and the Education Ministry are set to jointly announce that schools will remain closed in the region and the Sporades islands next week due to the destructive nature of storm Daniel.

A re-evaluation of the situation is expected next week to determine whether schools will open the following week.

The storm brought heavy rainfall that caused floods and landslides, and destroyed roads and bridges.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has postponed an annual economic policy speech scheduled for this weekend and will instead visit flooded areas hit by heavy rain since Monday, Reuters reported.

Three people have reportedly died as a result of the Daniel weather system which has been battering many parts of Greece for more than two days.

Two Austrian newlyweds were also believed to be missing after the holiday accommodation they were staying at was swept away on Tuesday in the Pelion region.
