EDITORIAL

Tourism requires top service The proper response to the drop in the number of tourists arriving in Greece due to the higher euro is not to start making cuts. The right thing to do would be to strengthen the competitiveness of our tourism product. This can only happen if we improve the quality that we provide to the people visiting our country.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Athens’s parallel universe Transportation in Athens is one of the most important things determining the quality of life of its residents and the memories that visitors take home with them. Cars - parked or in motion - swarm over every inch of road and sidewalk. Motorcycles rumble and screech between vehicles and pedestrians, ignoring all laws and all logic. Delivery trucks, disgorging clouds of diesel fumes, block traffic lanes whenever and wherever they see fit. Taxis crawl along the curb, fishing for more customers to jam next to the trapped wretches already suffering from the heat, the sweat, the cigarette smoke, the agony of a missed appointment.
