My CS contact said "with the weekend we had 4 days free!!!
From tomorrow running again!"
- I hate holidays ... cos I lead my life the opposite way around to most people, so I have easy sightseeing wthout crowds while they are working ... Then when other people stuck in crowds on Sundays and holidays I work. But some days I need to work or do something, but I can't cos all the services and offices are closed.
- In Greece there are so many holidays and strike (απεργία) days ..government offices are always closed.
I have been here 2 months and I count 7 public holidays and 6 strike days that's an average of one non-working day per week ... how can an economy function when things are often closed ?
(The UK has 8 public holidays in a whole year)
- I find it frustrating ... 50% of the time I arrive at a museum etc
the are closed cos of lunchtime, 3pm closing, holiday or strike or Monday closing
- e.g. I needed to do some work at the library in 2 weeks I got to do 1 hour !
- Monday - I was in Pilos - library closed for reconstruction
- Tuesday - In Kiparissia they said the library would be open ..but it was closed for school exams !
- Wednesday - Pyrgos - got to library at 1pm it closed at 2pm
- Thursday - Korinthi - libary closed 14-18pm, but when I went later it was closed ..cos of strike day
- Friday - Napfoli - rested at siesta but when I arrived at library at 6.05pm 1. it closes at 6.30pm normally, but today it was closed for fumigation
- Saturday - Napfoli libary closed cos it's weekend, passed Patra library but it was closed cos it's afternoon
- Sunday - Patra libary closed
- Monday - Patra libary closed cos public holiday .. I never expected it to be a holiday
- Tuesday - Kerkyra Library - arrived in afternoon, but library only open in afternoon Mon, Wed, Fri
- Wednesday - Dassia - being a tourist - went to Kerkyra libary but found it is only open if you telephone first
- Thursday - On west Coast at Paleo
- Friday - Kerkyra Library - morning yes it's open, but actually this library is private ..the other library is the Municipal Library..It is inside the old fortress.. ...they say I have to be a member and give me a form ..if I bring the form on Monday my card will be ready on Thursday next week
- Can you tell that North European people are not as relaxed as
southern Europeans ?
ha ha !
Come to Greece ... the place where everyday is a holiday
...... - For Greek government workers
ah I just checked
I see that June 5 many museums are free
and since they are free on first sunday in June they should be free on Sunday June 6th also ..or maybe they will make it free on June 13th instead
one benefit of holidays
- Ropa Valley ?
