Kifissia

Roadworks to put electronic signs over sections of the national highway between Athens and Lamia in central Greece will lead to the disruption of traffic Thursday and Friday.

The sections to be affected will be those running through the municipalities of Dionysos and Kifissia.

Traffic will be suspended in sections and diverted in others.
 

Euclid Tsakalotos steps in to pick up the pieces of Greece’s tattered negotiations. He is the polar opposite to Varoufakis, the man who stuck up the middle finger at Berlin, came to blows with the Eurogroup Chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem in a Brussels corridor and managed to join the Eurozone together against Greece.

Euclid Tsakalotos, the Oxford-educated economist was born in the Netherlands in 1960, and is soft-spoken and amiable and speaks Greek tinged with a faint British accent. Simple and professional, the new face of the Greek economy will be less about fashion style and more about method, organization and detail.

You know things are getting a little risky when robbers break into the home of the mayor of one of Greece’s most upscale districts and tie him and his wife up before looting the place.
The victim in this case is the mayor of Kifissia, an eponymous northern Athens suburb associated with leafy lots and “old money”.

Police were seeking two burglars who are said to have broken into the home of Kifissia Mayor Giorgos Thomakos in the early hours of Monday morning and tied up him and his family before stealing cash, jewelry and other valuables.
