They don’t mention Greece either, so maybe the post will find its own way there. If thats the case, then mail to the UK could be sent via Athens as it has been on previous occasions.
Maybe the staff of the Post Office are having a 4-6 week holiday while claiming their allowances. Who knows.

Well, maybe I’m right then! As the mail can still get as far as Athens, why can’t other countries mail be forwarded on from there? Makes no sense.
Why can no arrangements be made when the post is being disrupted for quite a long period.
What it is to have unionS who are so strong that they can make their own rules.

I’ve just heard from a business associate in Athens that they too will going into lockdown for 14 days from tomorrow.

What a very strange post, you base your last sentence on what? Sorry but do not like this at all.

I have the utmost respect for our Postal staff in Pegeia Post Office.
