Where to stay and eat on the under-the-radar idyllic Greek island of Paros, a summertime destination worth visiting.

The onsite restaurant, Parostià. Helmed by Yiannis Kioroglou—formerly of La Guerite in St Barths—it serves a Mediterranean and Grecian menu. Amenities include a half-moon infinity pool, shaped to complement the cerulean Aegean sea below, a private beach club, and and a spa with a star-gazing area that overlooks the sparkling lights of Nassoua at night. Inside, cooling cream and earth tones adorn the lobby and guest rooms, with the occasional pop of color from a blush couch or perhaps a pot painted with a classical Grecian face.

'Unforgettable': Greek Australians share how it felt to return to ... (Greek Herald)

Greek youth from across Australia have returned from the inaugural Greek Summer Camp in Thessaloniki, Greece.

However, it wasn’t the partying that made the night, it was the walk back to the hotel were Thessaloniki showed off its iconic monuments and landmarks. Being in these ancient sights, I was able to feel more connected with my heritage and reflect on Greek history, drawing me closer to my culture. For the first time, we felt that Greece hosted us as a true part of the global family… This tour offered me insight and access to a professional, organisational and political side of Greece that I never thought possible also. Second to this was our opportunity to dance on the stage at the Medical Forum in front of many high-profile individuals.

In June 2021, during an official visit to Greece by the secretary-general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Mathias Cormann, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis presented him with a proposal for the creation of an OECD center on Crete, focusing on population issues. The OECD secretary-general accepted the proposal in principle, acknowledging its importance and the resulting benefits for the international organization. A country of outgoing populations, with large migratory flows to the United States, Australia and Europe, Greece is at the same time a place of refugee destination. The population factor is now back in the spotlight, both inside and outside Greece. Europe is in demographic decline, with serious negative consequences – economic and otherwise. Historically, it has been a workshop on population transformations, as it welcomed and integrated the enormous refugee population after the Asia Minor Catastrophe. It repeated the feat after the end of the Cold War, integrating immigrants from the former communist countries, starting with Albania. Between Europe, Africa and Asia, it acts as a crossroads of migratory flows. The related studies and publications had a significant impact on social research and policy, which was then pursued in the fields of society, economy, and spatial planning.

Huge Pod of Dolphins Racing off Greece Captured by Drone Video (Greek Reporter)

A huge pod of dolphins racing across the Aegean off the region of Phthiotis, central Greece was captured by a drone video on Wednesday.

The Thracian Sea is also of great importance to the species. Their average length is 1.80 meters and they feed on fish such as anchovies and sardines, and, in the Corinthian Gulf, probably on squid. This helps them protect one another from danger and also care for injured or sick individuals as a group.
