Minor renovations, such as plastering, painting, electrical and plumbing works do not require a permit. However, major construction works, particularly those that may be associated with bearing loads, must be made after consultation with a civil ... Read More

Prices depend on location and quality of construction. There is no "black or white" way to know about prices. Your best bet would be to contact a realty agency, after you have assessed chosen location and other factors common everywhere in the ... Read More

Contact the company that imports the brand or the nearest dealer (e.g. in Chania). A halfway decent dishwasher cannot have just two years of life. Mine is 23 years old (Ariston, an Italian brand) and still works without a problem. Read More

There is only one state hospital in Lesvos supposedly providing full medical services but in most cases of free medical care, you have long waiting times.. If you have private insurance coverage or are willing to be charged you can be taken care of ... Read More

@Fred I have no idea. Most likely not. However, the very fact that insurance premium in the UK is higher for vehicles with the steering wheel on the left-hand side, means the accident statistics with "inappropriate" steering wheel position point to ... Read More

Apart from other reasons already cited, there is another majour reason for not taking your car to Greece, at least in my view: Steering wheel position. I think that it would be very dangerous to drive a right-hand wheel vehicle in European countries ... Read More

Write him a letter. He may still live at his old address or, perhaps, his relatives live there, or in some way, your letter may be forwarded to him. Alternatively, contact the Korean Embassy and ask them whether there is a way to locate your friend; ... Read More

Applying for a position is free, but you have to consider the odds of getting an actual job. If you detail your skills there may be employers that appreciate these and ask for your CV or/and invite you for a web interview. You lose nothing by ... Read More

Available jobs in Greece are, mainly, those of skilled workers and technicians, as well as such in the field of tourism. There are plenty of people available for administrational positions. Although you may find a job relative to your background in ... Read More

Burning tree prunings and other similar wastes is free during the winter months but not allowed during the months of increased fire risk (there are usually announcements, but better consult your nearest forestry authorities). You are not allowed to ... Read More

@melaina63 Hello Melaina,Your best bet is an attorney who is specialized in immigration and naturalization cases. It is my feeling that, since your grandparents were Greek immigrants, you should be entitled to full citizenship, but a lawyer knows ... Read More
