Cumbrian house builder Story Homes has doubled profits despite the recession.
Figures for the year to March show that it made £3.22 million before tax, up from £1.49m the year before.
Turnover increased by 31.7 per cent from £45.1m to £59.4m. The firm operates civil engineering, house building, railway maintenance and plant hire businesses.
The directors' report says: "The group generated a healthy profit and has a strong balance sheet, which includes a significant land bank.
"It is therefore well placed to realise opportunities in the future and the directors anticipate an improved trading performance in the coming financial year."
Staff employed by the group fell from an average of 408 in 2010-11 to 322.

The Witch, the Cats and the Lizards – Pt3
Contiued from here
Bertha learns to live and let live, but at what price?
That Sunday evening Chad got home. Beryl had the pleasure of informing her dad about the dead lizards. How excited she was – it was as though she had waiting for this moment all her life and she gave out the graphic narrative as best a four year old could manage.
Bertha had her own tale to tell but after she was done, it felt like she'd just told an old wives' tale to her husband. His reaction at best was some Mmhh's, and an occasional arching of his right brow.
"The dead lizards are out back for you to see Sweetie." She said finally, after the reaction she anticipated proved hopelessly elusive.
"Are they now… really?" he fumbled.
"Yes really!" She said, in an affirmative tone as if it was some exotic sumptuous lizard dinner surprise for him!
"Okay let me go check"
Bertha and Beryl followed close behind.
"Okay! Two lizards…, sure enough, now I will just bury them and get this over with," he said, all the time reading the expression on his wife and daughter's faces.
"Bury them! Where?" Bertha screamed.
"It's okay, under the rocks, on that side," Chad said pointing with his outstretched hand.
No one was there for the solemn ceremony, except Chad. He removed some of the rocks piled up against the fence and with a good sized hole for a grave, he lowered in the lizards and used the same rocks to cover them. Hopefully the story of the dead lizards was buried. Bertha and Beryl stood watching from the kitchen window.
Bertha couldn't wait for Monday, but the day came and passed with no word from Ms. Primrose. It was the ringing of her doorbell at 5.00pm the next day, Tuesday that announced Mrs. Primrose's return.
Surprisingly, the witch was in tow and was Bertha glad to see them both! But Bertha wasn't looking into the witch's face, for the fear of finding herself staring into a mimicry of Mother Theresa's apparition!
After a short while, Bertha finally looked up after a stint of listening to a classic cock and bull story.
The witch's story was that she had placed cat poison on top of the wall- fence they shared.
"What for? As cat bait?" She spat.
"It is what I do whenever my chickens hatch new chicks, as a precautionary measure to guard against scaling predators," the witch explained, contorting her body in apparent assertiveness. Bertha couldn't believe the nerve of the woman when she went on to ask,
"Were those two your cats? You ought to have called me to pick the dead cats up?"
Oh yes, she knew exactly what happened, when James and Bertha knocked at her gate!
Then she ranted on… "I also found two dead cats under our family car…"
"…You know, my other neighbors know about it"
"What?" She thought to herself, "that you are a witch and a murderous cat killer? Or probably that you all come from the same school of wizardry?"
"…I have lived here for ten good years you know, and never have I heard such a complaint before …" said the witch.
Bertha didn't bother asking what the lizards had to die for!
Well, it could well have been "Street Court" without Judge Michael Mazzariello presiding. Bertha wondered what Judge Mazz could have ruled, had he judged the case; and all Bertha would have asked for as plaintiff was for the Witch to pay fees for professional fumigation services and damages for causing her mental distress!
Bertha didn't find any one of the "other neighbors" who knew anything about all that and some reliable sources did confirm that for the many years they'd lived there, they had not known of the cyclic phenomenon: "Cats in Neighborhood slain for stalking witch's Chicks."
A Couple of weeks later, Bertha was beside herself and it was a beautiful early morning. She couldn't make out what she saw lying out in the shadows as she peered through the kitchen window. It looked black and she figured it must be a parcel wrapped in black polythene.
It nestled among the rocks where Chad had buried the lizards a few weeks back. The most probable explanation she could come up with later was that the shadows made her hallucinate – thanks to the Witch, she had taken on a pesky jumpiness she hadn't had before.
At times, she found herself imagining and deluding herself with only what she alone could see or smell. Bertha couldn't get enough of Chad's chiding when daylight finally came and the black polythene parcel turned out to be a stone!
On another occasion Bertha would swear the chicken trespassing into her compound was on a mission, surveillance maybe. The Witch stood knocking at Bertha's front gate and announced:
"My chicken has jumped over the fence to your side."
When Chad finally managed to corner it after a frantic chase, the little rooster surprised them. In a quick almost rehearsed stunt, as if simultaneously challenging her knowledge on flightless birds, the hen could soar into the air and glide over to where it had come from. In her mind, the unlikely spy had overstayed in its mission prompting its master to initiate a disguised extraction?
There was also another time when they were at the dining table enjoying breakfast when suddenly a gust of horrid smoke filled the room. The trail of grayish smoke could visibly be traced back from across the right- hand side of the fence. Bertha and the children quickly abandoned the meal to shut the back windows and open the front windows and door for ventilation. The pungent smoke then disappeared mysteriously as fast as its wake after causing the damage.
What about the time when Bertha found some weird round pellet in her dog's vomit, or when she found a cock's head lying on the ground as if planted as bait for one of her hounds to chew to its premeditated death or when she found the yellow oval berries strewn on her front yard!
Well, what trouble for some witch and her malevolence since Bertha had unfalteringly sworn to take it all in stride.
And so it turned out that witches simply don't have shame because this one, probably with her bag of antics almost empty, turned to feigned diplomacy! She started being friendly to Bertha, but not without the unmistakable uneasiness she tried to conceal behind the facade of the smile she wore every time they met.
She uttered her greetings with some lyrical sweet voice, something which fuelled Bertha's curt and cold replies to the fake pleasantries, and if before they rarely met – now they seemed to bump into each other all the time!
On the flip side, Bertha turned into a P.W.I. (Private Witch Investigator). She picked and analyzed every detail of the witch's life. When Bertha eventually began putting everything into perspective, all the follies the witch had meted out made her contempt assume the form of empathy.
If the witch got her kicks from trying to mess up her life, then Bertha would give her the whole hog from then on.
Bertha remembered a proverb she'd read:
"Do not judge your neighbor until you walk two moons in his moccasins." (Native American proverb, Cheyenne).
Well, Bertha had just started her moon walk and she hadn't even covered half a moon. She was nonetheless ready to walk the whole two moons, but in her own Jimmy Choo pumps!
After compiling her espionage logs, it looked something like this:
Monday – Friday: Early morning – Witch sweeps compound, feeds chicken and chicks, stays indoors until midday, Gardner pops in (routinely, almost every day),
Afternoons – Girlfriend(s) visit, witch in, witch sees girlfriend(s) off, witch out, witch in.
Saturdays: Witch out (stocking on paraphernalia and charms).
Sunday: Witch out, Witch in.
Bertha still lives with her family in the same house, with her witch next door. The only thing that is different is the fact that she's had to learn that times have changed from when she grew up, a few blocks down the road at No. 0728. She told me those were the good old days when her neighbors were truly consciously genuine folks.
"Well, those were different times," Bertha told me over a steaming cup of tea.
She seemed to have had a profound effect from what she'd experienced in her new neighborhood and I jokingly teased that she must have acquired a new fear of dead cats and lizards!
"No Carol, it is stalking neighbors I fear the most!" Bertha corrected.
A couple of months later Gayle was around to see Bertha, and she was heavy laden with a tale to tell… the story of Block C Apartment, 5th floor, Wing II, 2nd Bedroom Window … but that's a tale for another day …

The past 72 hours has held one of the strangest disharmonic convergence of free speech events I have ever seen. (1) On Tuesday, President Obama flourished his pretty rhetoric on free speech to the United Nations (UN): Those in power have to resist the temptation to crack down on dissidents. (2) A day later, the Sydney Morning Herald published US Air Force documents classifying Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange as "enemies of the state," an action in sharp contrast to Obama's rhetoric about the importance of protecting dissent in a democracy. Declassified US Air Force counter-intelligence documents, released under US freedom-of-information laws, reveal that military personnel who contact WikiLeaks or WikiLeaks supporters may be at risk of being charged with "communicating with the enemy", a military crime that carries a maximum sentence of death. (3) The day after Obama's UN address, Assange addressed the UN from the Ecuadorian embassy where - fearing extradition to the U.S. - he has been granted asylum. Read FireDogLake's Kevin Gosztola for the highlights, including an understandable demand (especially in light of the fact that the U.S. government declared Assange the "enemy") that Obama live up to the free speech ideals Obama himself so eloquently presented to the UN: President Obama spoke out strongly in favour of the freedom of expression. Those in power, he said, have to resist the temptation to crack down on dissent. There are times for words and there are times for action. The time for words has run out. It is time for the US to cease its persecution of WikiLeaks, to cease its persecution of our people and it cease its persecution of our alleged sources. It is time for President Obama to do the right thing and join the forces of change: not in fine words but in fine deeds. |

In late April/early May, we traveled up and down the Atlantic Coast and checked in on multiple highly-regarded prospects, including several five-stars. Here's a look at the best of the road trip. Note: photo gallery feature not yet available in mobile
There's no question that defensive tackle Eddie Goldman is one of the top prospects in the country.
Eddie Goldman, DT, Washington (D.C.) Friendship Collegiate
Goldman, who we caught up with at his school one afternoon, is one of the more impressive looking defensive tackle prospects we've seen the last few years. He's a legitimate 6-foot-4 and a solid 300 pounds. Goldman, who has more than 50 scholarship offers to his credit, is wide open with regards to his decision. He visited Clemson, Auburn, Alabama, Florida and Florida State on a trip through the Southeast a few weeks back and said that all o those schools stood out to him. Goldman is the nation's No. 3 overall prospect and top defensive tackle prospect.
Noah Spence, DE, Harrisburg (Pa.) Bishop McDevitt
We caught up with Spence at his home during the night of the NFL Draft and he and his father, former N.C. State linebacker Greg Spence, were gracious enough to spend time with us talking recruiting, football, etc. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Spence looked outstanding physically and you combine that with what you see on film (very active, quick first step, great hands) and he's a strong candidate to move up to five stars when 247Sports adjusts its rankings in the coming months. Maryland, Penn State, Virginia, Virginia Tech and a host of other programs are in the mix for Spence, who is open. The Terps are bigger factors than many think.
Jarron Jones, DT/DE, Rochester (N.Y.) Aquinas Institute
Jones, a five-star prospect, is a dominant, athletic defensive lineman on film, but when you see him in person (we met with him after school at his school), he looks the part of a big-time left offensive tackle. It will be up to the coaches at the college he picks (he's currently committed to Penn State) to determine where he fits best, but there's no doubting his size/athleticism combination is elite. Jones says he will visit Michigan, North Carolina and Notre Dame for sure while he attempts to finalize his decision. We got the feeling that he would stick with the Nittany Lions when we met with him, but there is a long way to go.
Darius Hamilton, DE/DT, Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep
Hamilton, who we met at his school one morning, has a unique build- he has extremely long arms, broad shoulders and a frame that could pack on more pounds of good weight. He's athletic enough to play defensive end, particularly in a 3-4 alignment, but long-term he grows into a big-time, athletic defensive tackle. Hamilton also is a high-character prospect with a strong work ethic and great bloodlines (his father Keith Hamilton played for the New York Giants), so the five-star prospect has a low bust factor. Right now, he's wide open as far as college choices go. Expect him to take some visits in the coming months and narrow things down.
Yuri Wright, CB, Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep
Wright's ability on film is what garnered him the ranking as the nation's top cornerback prospect, but when you meet him in person (we did shortly after meeting Hamilton), his height, long arms and good frame are legitimate. He needs to continue to build muscle, but the potential here is extremely high. Wright has a slew of offers and like Hamilton, Goldman and Spence appears to be wide open. He's mentioned Notre Dame and Georgia as two schools he would like to check out at some point.
Jamil Pollard, DT, Westville (N.J.) West Deptford
Pollard impressed on film enough to warrant a ranking among the nation's top 160 prospects, but after seeing the Penn State commit in person, his upside may be higher than that. He's how you draw them up if you are looking for a jumbo athlete/defensive line type. Pollard is solid to the Nittany Lions.
Davis to release five
Justin Wells of GatorBait reports that the nation's top-ranked outside linebacker prospect, Noor Davis (The Villages, Fla.) will announce his top five later today. We know that Notre Dame and Florida are likely to make the cut with USC, UCLA, Stanford and others possible. The 6-foot-4 Davis has more than 30 scholarship offers.
Texas quick hitters
-Offensive tackle Tre'Von Armstead (Port Arthur, Texas/Memorial) has verbal offers from Baylor, Missouri, Colorado, Arkansas and Tulane. Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and LSU are also showing interest. Alabama is scheduled to by at Memorial High on Tuesday to see the 6-foot-6, 270-pounder as well as a number of talented prospects in the 2013 class.
-Outside linebacker/defensive end Bryce Cottrell (Plano, Texas/West) continues to be a popular prospect for college coaches that recruit the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Wake Forest, Minnesota, Vanderbilt and Tulane were at Plano West for practice yesterday to take a look at the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder. Cottrell has verbal offers from Syracuse, Mississippi State, Arizona, Baylor, Texas Tech and San Jose State. LSU (as a weak side end), Oregon (as an inside linebacker) and TCU are among the many programs showing serious interest.
-Outside linebacker A.J. Hilliard (Spring, Texas/Klein Oak) picked up an offer from Nevada on Monday. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder with 4.65-speed had previous verbal offers from West Virginia, Minnesota and Houston. Missouri is among the schools showing serious interest.
-Receiver Gerald Thomas (The Colony, Texas) reports that Baylor, Wake Forest and Tulane were at the school today to check on the 5-foot-10, 170-pound darting quick playmaker. Baylor is showing serious interest and will be back to watch Thomas a second time with multiple coaches. TCU and Texas Tech are among the other programs showing serious interest. Thomas has verbal offers from Boise State, Arizona State, Kansas, Minnesota and New Mexico State.
Around the network
-Four-star offensive tackle Greg Pyke told Sean Fitz of Lions247 that he was "liking Maryland" at present, along with Penn State and Virginia.
-Jason Sapp of BGI reports that four-star offensive tackle Kennedy Estelle has one team at the top of his list.
-Bryan Matthews of AuburnUndercover reports that two schools will definitely make the cut for four-star offensive lineman Ty Darlington (Apopka, Fla.).

Office Max Complaint - Terrible Customer Service

MISHAWAKA, INDIANA -- Two Fridays ago I purchased four $100 Visa Gift Cards from store #38 in Mishawaka, IN. I paid for them and got activation receipts claiming the cards would be ready to use within 24 hours. I left the store feeling satisfied with my purchase. However, when I went to use one of the cards 2 full days later, the card rang up as denied. So I call the number on the back of the Visa card and when I entered the card number, it said the cards status is unknown and I got transferred to someone to talk to. The person on the line told me that there was never any money loaded onto the card. I asked him to check the status of the other 3 cards I had and they all came back the same. So the next day I went back to the store I purchased them from thinking this would be a quick fix since I had the sales receipt showing that I paid for these cards, and Visa told me there was no money loaded onto them. I was very wrong. After two and half hours in the store talking to the manager and various people whom he told me I needed to contact, still nothing was resolved.
The manager gave me the number for Blackhawk, the company who processes gift cards. The person I contacted there said the cards did not show up as activated in their system. Then I called OfficeMax customer service and told them the whole story and gave them the reference numbers and names of people I contacted at Visa and Blackhawk. I was told the information would be forwarded on to the District Manager, and that I would be contacted on Tuesday. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and gave him until Thursday afternoon to call, and still heard nothing. Nine days since I bought the cards and I am still in the same situation I was at the beginning, trying to get my money from OfficeMax and getting no cooperation from them in any way. I tried to get the manager at the store to sit with me and contact Visa and Blackhawk together, just so I know that OfficeMax knows what V & B are telling me. Because at this point, I'm still not sure they understand it, regardless of how many times I have told this to different people affiliated with the company.
I have sales and activation receipts for the specific cards in question, coupled with Visa and Blackhawk stating the cards were not paid for from OfficeMax, thus not being activated. Why is this so difficult to fix?

It seems like your money simply disappeared into oblivion and nobody is willing to help.
At this point, I recommend contacting the Indiana Office of the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. The website is http://www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-03-29:
Before you go as far as contacting the Office of the Attorney General, how did you pay for the gift cards? If you paid by credit card, or debit card, contact the card issuer/bank of the card that you used and file a dispute or charge back. This will force Blackhawk and Office Max to respond with an explanation, or your money is automatically returned.
You have already gnne through a lot of frustration trying to get your issue with Office Max resolved. Contacting the Attorney General before pursuing your other options may create more needless delay and red tape for you and will only lead to further frustration for you. Good luck! Please let us know how this turns out.
Posted by Ben There on 2009-03-29:
Just out of curioisty, why did you buy gift cards for yourself?

The holidays wouldn't be the same without the annual Festival of Lights on the Norton Town Common to take place this Sunday, Dec. 2 at 5 p.m.
Like last year, the Norton Singers and Tim Brown will be singing carols to get visitors in the holiday spirit. There will also be hot cocoa, cookies. The highlight of the evening will be the arrival of Santa Claus by fire truck and the lighting of the Town Common. Afterward, children are encouraged to have their photos taken with Santa and Mrs. Clause in Santa's house for $3 per family.
Kids can also let Santa know what they'd like for Christmas in a letter and receive a personalized letter from him in return. No child will be denied a letter, but a $3 donation is requested to support the administrative costs of this program. Donations and forms can accompany the letter. The form is attached to this article and can be found on the Norton Parks and Recreation website. They will also be available at the Festival of Lights. Children can drop off the letter at the Santa house located in the Common through Dec. 20.
Sponsors of this event are Roche Bros., North Easton Savings Bank and Honey Dew Donuts.
Festival of Lights Set for Sunday
Letters to Santa being accepted.

I'll bet if you owed the state of West Virginia more than $250,000, as allegedly Mr. Tsitsilianos says the state owes him, there would not be a statute of limitations.
One reader was trashing some poor minimum-wage worker for food stamps and one reader said corporations should not have to pay taxes. You people should read the facts. Corporations are making more money than ever, most have not paid taxes in five years and they aren't creating jobs.
Kudos to Rod Snyder for his "coming out." As a straight man of 80 years, I have known, interacted and loved (non romantically) gay men and women my entire life, and all any of them ever wanted was respect and equal treatment.
Management at the South Charleston Rite Aid needs to talk to their employees. People do not want to walk through cigarette smoke or have to come outside the store to get assistance while the front counter people stand out front and smoke!
I am sorry about the teens that have gotten killed recently but I wonder where their parents are?
While there may be some argument whether George W. Bush or Barack Obama logged more time on Air Force One, there can be no doubt of one fact: George W. Bush spent far more time in AFO than in the fighter he was supposed to fly in Vietnam before he "went missing."
Can the person who thinks that the majority of food stamp and welfare recipients are abusing the system cite the source for that little tidbit of knowledge? Or was it acquired proctologically?
The South Charleston Community Center's indoor rowing machine failed several months ago. It still has not been replaced. Rowing machines provide a much better whole-body exercise than any other machines there.
Detroit depended entirely upon the automobile industry. West Virginia depends entirely upon the coal industry. Anyone see a link here?

How to Enroll or Opt Out of Medical Benefits
All changes must be made in the MyOEBB online system. Even if you are opting out of medical benefits, you must fill out an online enrollment form.
Choosing a Plan
Selecting the best health plans for you and your family can be challenging. Over time, both your personal circumstances and plan provisions may change. For that reason, employees are encouraged to review the current plan offerings, revisiting plan selection decisions previously made. This section offers some tips and guidance on things that may be important to you.
- Step 1) Review your Cost Sheet:
You will bear a portion of the cost of your care. This may come in various forms, such as:
- paying a portion of the premiums
- paying a copayment at the doctor's office
- paying coinsurance – your share of the bill (plan pays X%, patient pays Y%)
- paying for the full cost of the care until you have met the deductible
- paying for services where the billed amount is more than the health plan allows
Look at each of the plan choices in terms of how the cost is shared and what you think your medical care and financial needs will be.
- Step 2) Review the medical, vision and dental plans
Choice: As you look at the plans you see that they vary in terms of the choice you have in selecting physicians, clinics, hospitals and other providers. If you have strong preferences about providers, make sure the ones you want to use are within the provider network associated with the plan you choose.
Covered Services: There are differences in the plans regarding what they cover. Consider what plans are best for the treatments you prefer. If you have other coverage available, you may want to evaluate how complementary the plans are, if they duplicate services and how the benefits will be coordinated.
Service: There may also be a difference between plans and providers in terms of service levels. Not all plans and not all providers are equal in terms of responsiveness to patient needs.
- Step 3) Attend an informational session
- Step 4) Fill out your online enrollment form
- Use the 2011 Open Enrollment Action Checklist and the 2011 Open Enrollment Decision Guide to help guide you through the process.
Opting out of PCC insurance
Employees who have other group medical insurance may choose to opt out of PCC insurance. To opt out you must go into the OEBB online system and provide your other coverage information, then select the opt out option. Employees who previously opted out of PCC insurance need to go online and verify that their other insurance information is still valid.
Eligible employees who opt out of medical, vision and dental insurance will receive up to $200 (prorated for part-time employees) as an opt out incentive (part-time faculty are not eligible for the opt out incentive). The opt out incentive will be taxed.
Part-Time Faculty Eligibility Requirements
Employees who receive the open enrollment mailing in early August need to complete the OEBB online open enrollment process. More »
Mid-Year Changes
PCC employees may add or drop insurance for themselves and their dependents only within 31 days of a qualifying event or at Open Enrollment. See Guidelines for Mid-Year Changes.
Special Categories and Situations
To read more click on a category.
- Retirees
Employees retiring from PCC may retain their group coverage on PCC's medical plans, with certain restrictions, until they reach 65 and become eligible for Medicare. Retirees pay the full cost of premiums based on the rate for active employees for the plans unless there is a PCC contribution established under the labor agreement or PCC policy. Retirees are not eligible for the health insurance opt out (waiver) incentive.
In general, to continue on a PCC retiree group plan after retirement the employee must be receiving PERS benefits. For Kaiser retiree coverage, that coverage will terminate if the retiree permanently moves outside of the Northwest Kaiser Service Area.
- Domestic Partner Coverage
Domestic partners are currently permitted to participate in nearly all of PCC's benefit programs. The only restrictions occur in cases where the federal government or state does not recognize domestic partnerships, and typically this affects the taxability of benefits. The Certificate of Domestic Partnership will need to be submitted for a domestic partner to participate in the benefit programs. Access the Domestic Partner benefits website for additional information including the Certificate of Domestic Partnership. PCC's domestic partnership requirement is different than OEBB's. PCC requires that domestic partners are not legally married to anyone nor have had another domestic partner within the previous 31 days.

Greece Travel Guide
Greek Island Guide
Hotels of Greece
In the last few years more tourists have discovered the southeast coast of Athens, and many were delighted to find that they could stay right on, or within easy walking distance of the sea and still have access to the Acropolis and the museums and archaology sites of the city by public transport.
With the opening of the coastal tram the towns of Glyfada, Voula and Faliron have seen an influx of foreign travelers, and why not? All these towns are really extensions of Athenswith shops, restaurants, cafes and the one thing that central Athens does not have: the Aegean Sea. For the travelers who see the news on tv of demonstrations in Syntagma square, having the option of staying by the beach and going into Athens to see the sites, is certainly a welcome one because as much as going to the islands is what everyone wants to do when they come to Greece, seeing the Acropolis is sort of like a required course. You can't come back from your one trip to Greece and have your friends and family ask you how you liked the Acropolis and having to answer "Ummmm, actually I didn't see it." ( Uncomfortable silence, finally broken up by you saying "... but Santorini was lovely", everyone agrees and the evening proceeds, but the damage is done. They think you are an idiot.) And there are people who just don't like cities, especially ones where everyone speaks a different language from them. You may be one of them. So why not stay on what has been recently named Athens Gold Coast or the Athenian Riviera and not worry about protests interrupting your holiday or having your wallet snatched on the metro. To hell with downtown Athens. Stay at the beach!
Faliron is the closest coastal town to Athens and like Glyfada and Voula there is a big highway between the buildings and the sea, though there are many ways to cross that are safe and easy, though occasionally time-consuming. There are several nice hotels in Faliron, some on the main road and others tucked away on secondary streets. It looks like a newer cleaner version of Athens, with more modern apartment buildings and shops, restaurants, cafes, and tree shaded streets packed with parked cars. But cross Posidonas Avenue and you have the beach (OK not the cleanest but probably not much worse than the French Riviera). There is a walking path between the tram and the sea that occasionally breaks away into park areas, similar to Chicago's lake shore, where you can do a morning jog and run forever.
If you go south you come to Edem, a beach with a fish taverna and you end up at the Alimou Marina in Kalamaki where many of the sailboat charters are based. In fact it is the biggest marina in the world so if you like looking at boats you will be in heaven. If you go to your right, or north-west actually, you will come to Flisvos Marina which is what Alimou would have looked like if someone had not stolen all the money that was meant to improve it. Flisvos Marina is home to some of the biggest and most spectacular yachts in the Mediterranean, lined up side by side, and so many of them that you wonder, why can't the Greeks just buy their way out of this economic crisis? The truth is that they are not all Greek and even if they were they could probably care less what happens to the little people. But thankfully, having all these mega-yachts here means that the marina has a number of restaurants, bars and cafes as well as several shops in a modern mall-like area that is nice to go for a drink or a slightly expensive lunch or dinner. This is also an area of nightlife, in fact the coast is dotted with clubs that are mostly outdoor, capable of holding a few thousand people, where you can dance all night until dawn (and then go to see the Acropolis).
If you continue further you will come to the Battleship Averof which is a museum. The Averof is arguably the most important ship in Greek history since the Battle of Salamis. This dreadnought cruiser is one of the few left on the planet. The Averof was launched on the 27th February 1910 and arrived at Faliro Bay on the 1st of September 1911, where the Greeks welcomed it with enthusiasm. The ship saw its first action in the First Balkan War of 1912 under the command of Admiral Pavlos Kontouriotis. The ship ruled the northeast Aegean and was an important part in the liberation of Mount Athos and the islands of Limnos, Thasos, Samothraki, Tenedos, Aghios Eustratios, Mitilini, and Chios. The power of this ship and the success in the Aegean kept the Turkish Sultan from challenging the Greek Navy and kept the Turkish Navy out of the Aegean. Nearby is the reconstructed ancient Greek Trireme Olympias built in 1987. If you continue on you will see one of the formerly proud monuments to the 2004 Olympics, the Faliron Coastal Zone Olympic Complex, now derelict with even the concrete walkways looking like they are ready to collapse on the highway below. While this is an interesting walk one can't help but fear that he is in danger of being ripped apart by wild dogs, so probably until Greece gets the money to pay for the upkeep and restoration of this area it is best to end your Faliron tour at the Battleship and then head back to the shops and restaurants.
The best thing about Faliron is that you are within 20-30 minutes from downtown Athens and even closer to the ferry port in Pireaus which can be reached by bus or tram/metro or taxi. Located on a quiet street, the 2-star Avra Hotel is a 10 minute taxi journey from Plaka, the Acropolis and the archaeological museums of Athens and right across Posidonas Avenue from the beach and the coastal tram. The 4-star Coral Hotel offers views of the Saronic Gulf and Kastella Hill and features an indoor heated whirlpool and mini gym and is also right across from the beach. Though there are other hotels in the area, these two are the most convenient to transportation and the beach. Fantasy Travel have several packages which allow you to see Athens while staying in Faliron before going to the Greek Islands. For those who don't like big cities and prefer to be by the sea be sure to check their Far from the Maddening Crowd Packages which along with being the antidote to the insanity of Athens happen to be a very good deal.
Glyfada Square is the center of Coastal Athens as it has been since the days when the US Airbase nearby made it seem like the Saigon of the Aegean. Though the US military is gone many of the bars and restaurants that catered to the GIs and their families are still open and thriving and some people may notice that their spirit lives on. Glyfada is a major shopping area with hundreds of stores within easy walking distance and the feeling of a big spread out American style mall and at night its club scene brings people from all over Athens, especially in the summer when Posidonas Avenue can be one big traffic jam. If you cross Posidonas there is a small marina, a couple beaches, some fancy cafes and restaurants and a seasonal amusement park. Swimming wise it is not as far out as you want to be but it is probably clean enough, survivable if you are just here for holidays. Most people go further south to swim.
Most of the buildings are modern apartment style and the coastal tram runs down the center of the street giving the town a more cosmopolitan Mediterranean feeling. Like Voula and Vouliagmeni it is the home to many millionaires, Greek popular singers and movie stars, crooked politicians (and probaly some honest ones if there are any), wealthy Arabs, and maybe an exiled dictator or two. I guess you could call it the Beverely Hills of Athens but really it is a mixture of wealthy and middle-class. If you live in Peristeri or Goudi and you want to show you have made it you move to Glyfada. If you can only afford a small apartment in nearby Kalamaki you will still tell people you live in Glyfada. To live in Glyfada is prestigeous, as is living in Vouliagmeni, but the difference is people who want prestige live in Glyfada. People who live in Vouliagmeni already have it. Though you will see the same style of architecture as you see in other parts of Athens, modern 4 to 6 story apartment buildings, these have nice lawns and are not all scrunched one next to the other with no room to breath. It is like living in the suburbs but stacked up. Glyfada is also home to a real 18 hole golf course, rare in Greece and even more rare back in the sixties and seventies when it was the only one in the country. If you love to shop you will love Glyfada. Any upscale shop that you can find in Kolonaki or on Ermou Street probably has another one here, and there are several mall style shopping centers.
Restaurants in Glyfada include a number of meat places on Kondyli Street which leads off the square, and the Sushi Bar. Or check out the Lebanese restaurant Diwan also on the same street. There are several Italian restaurants and even a TGI Fridays at 43 Lazaraki street if you have come this far to eat American food. You can go from there right to the Hard Rock Cafe just a few steps away. But your best bet may be Paradosiako Tis Larisas at Kypou 19, in a one story house, for brizoles (steaks) and beefsteki (grilled burgers). H Folia tou Koukou has live rembetika music and is reasonably priced but it is a taxi ride away in Ano Glyfada at Zakynthou 51 so it would not hurt to call them to make sure they have music on the night you are going. 2109620068, 2109602241
There are several inexpensive hotels in Glyfada, including the Hotel Blue Sky, a recently renovated family-owned 2-star hotel 15 minutes walking distance from the beach and the centre of Glyfada. The 3-star Sea View Hotel is 400 metres from the shopping area of Glyfada and has comfortable and elegant rooms, an outdoor swimming pool with a sun terrace and is close to the sea, the buses and the tram. The 3-star Hotel London�s location near the tram offers easy connection to Athens centre and the beaches. (The 24-hour airport bus line stops only 50 metres from the hotel). The 4-star Best Western Hotel Fenix has a large swimming pool with sun beds, free Wi-Fi and free parking. Other popular 4-star hotels include the Hotel Palmyra Beach, The Oasis Hotel Apartments, and the Palace Hotel all of which have swimming pools and are within walking distance of the tram and buses. Perhaps the best of the bunch is the Hotel Emmantina, which has a pool and is right across the street from the beach with each air-conditioned room having a view of the Aegean Sea and the ferries going to the islands. Finally the Congo Palace, which was the former officers club when the US Military was here in the sixties and seventies, is newly rennovated, has a pool, spectacular sunsets, and rooms especially designed for disabled guests.
When you get to the towns with the names that begin with a V the swimming gets a lot better, in fact there are many spots that you may feel like you are on one of the islands. In my youth Voula was a seaside neighborhood of small houses and cottages with gardens and a little downtown area. Those houses have pretty much all been replaced by 5 story apartment buildings and the downtown area has spread out and offers several blocks of shops, cafes and restaurants with a Southern California atmosphere and very few tourists. Cross Posidonas Avenue and there is a pay beach with the usual Greek beach amenities(changing cabanas, rental sun beds and umbrellas, snack bars and loud music) and some other areas where you can swim for free.
After Voula you come to Vouliagmeni on the coast and Vari inland towards Mount Hymetos. Vari is known for its Psistaria's, or grill houses, where you see restaurant after restaurant with outdoor barbeques cooking whole lambs, pigs, goats, kontosouvli (big hunks of pork on a rotisserie) kokoretsi (organ meats wrapped in intestines and rotisserie grilled) and all sorts of other meat dishes including lambs heads. This town is known jokingly as Cholesterol Valley in reference to California's Silicon Valley, and Athenians escape the city to eat meat in these supermarket sized restaurants. Though some purists claim the area is over commercialized and the quality of food has gone down as its popularity has gone up, you probably won't know the difference and can follow the philosophy of 'If it looks good-eat it.' There are men dressed as traditional mountain klephs, beckoning the drivers of the cars that pass by to come in, and really the area is not very pedestrian friendly so you are better off going with someone who knows which restaurant is good or at least which ones to avoid. Vari spreads down to the sea to a town called Varkiza which has one of the best and cleanest public beaches within striking distance of Athens and a fishing port and fish market. Varkiza like the rest of the coast is a town of apartment buildings, mostly modern, and lots of shops, cafes, restaurants and bakeries. If I was going to live on the coast of Athens I would probably live in Varkisa.
Vouliagmeni is famous for a wooded area with two small peninsulas, Kavouri and Lemos, which have some very nice pay beaches, a couple decent free beaches, some nice swimming areas off the rocks (if you are a good swimmer) and some of the most beautiful resort hotels on the mainland. There is a small temple to Apollo located on the grounds of the Astir Palace Beach Resort Hotel, which has a pay beach with cabanas, cafes and some watersports. There are also a number of restaurants and tavernas on the Kavouri side, on the sea, some expensive and some not. South of Kavouri is the pay beach of Vouliagmeni which many Athenians I know consider the first of the clean beaches since it faces the open sea to the south and is protected from Athens by the penisula. The town of Vouliagmeni is across Posidonas Avenue and is mostly modern apartment buildings and narrow streets but there are some mega-cafes and a few fast food and other restaurants. Vouliagmeni, which means sunken, is famous for its lake which supposedly has some healing properties and is the closest natural spa to Athens and is open year round. The lake is fed by an underground river as well as caves from the sea where some American divers from the US base were lost in the early seventies and not found until a couple years ago.
The piece of land that juts out between Varkisa and Vouliagmeni is famous for its many coves where young Athenians flock in the summer because the sea is clean and you don't have to pay to swim. You will know where to get off the road because you will see massive parking areas full of cars in the summer, though you can only catch glimpses of the coves from the road. The E22 bus stops in several places where you can get off and walk down to the coves. There are several cantinas, small stands that sell beer and drinks and some food and the area has a lot more of an organized feeling than it did 40 years ago when we used to come here to swim and not see anyone but our friends. Nevertheless you will still have that feeling that you are swimming on a Greek island without having had to go through the trouble of getting on a ferry boat.
For restaurants in the area check out Naiades at the Platia in Voula for kokoretsi, roast suckling pig, and other meaty dishes. Nearby is Adonis where I have been several times and it is a very good family psistaria, again a good place for meat lovers. For mezedes, grilled meats, and home cooking in a nice restaurant with a garden try Klimataria at Plastiras 3, just a block off the square from Naiades. Louizides is a classic taverna with home-style cooking in Vouliagmeni square. Skara is a modern-style taverna with a view of the bay in Vouliagmeni at 15 Posidonas Ave, which is reasonably priced when compared to the high end restaurants that are on the peninsula. It shares an address with Psaraki which is a fish taverna, also reasonably priced. I have not eaten at either but they are worth a shot.
Most people who stay in Vouliagmeni have money, though really the resort hotels here are not overpriced when you consider what you would have to pay and go through if you are staying in downtown Athens and want to go for a swim. The previously mentioned Astir Palace Beach Resort Hotel, is actually several 5-star hotels, restaurants, and spa facilities built on a pine-grown promontory bathed by the clear, turqoise waters of the Saronic Gulf in a location that is said to be the most beautiful in Attica. The Divani Apollon Palace Spa & Thalassotherapy Centre has its own beach, a couple good sized swimming pools, a gourmet restaurant, and was the first hotel in Athens to become a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. Other quality hotels on the Vouliagmeni Penisula include The Plaza Strand, and the Arion Resort and Spa which is actually a part of the Astir Palace and the Hotel Margi which combines the sophistication of an urban hotel with the relaxed atmosphere of a seaside resort. Crossing Posidonas Avenue you will find the Classical Vouliagmeni Suites which is a 5-star luxury hotel and the 4-star Electra Hotel Apartments which are fully furnished apartments. Each apartment consists of a bedroom, living room, full size bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen and can comfortably sleep up to a family of four.
For budget conscious travelers there are a number of choices in the area and though generally you will have to cross Posidonas Avenue to get to the beach, at least you are at the beach and not in the center of Athens. The 3-star NON-SMOKING! Plaza Hotel in Voula is a 5-minute walk from the beach. It offers air-conditioned rooms with balconies and LCD satellite TV. Just across from Voula Beach the non-smoking Hotel Parthenis offers a variety of accommodation and is popular with families. The 3-star Galini Palace in Voula is a great value for money hotel with great views of the sea. The 2-star Miramare Hotel also in Voula, is inexpensive and super-convenient since the X96 bus from the airport to Pireaus (and back-very important) stops right in front of the hotel. In fact all these hotels are within walking distance of the airport bus. (which if you have not figure it out yet means you can take to and from the Pireaus ferry boats). Just as convenient is the 2-star Villa Orion Hotel .
For those who want to take luxury a step further and don't mind sacrificing proximity to Athens for elegance and probably have enough money so that you don't care if there is a bus to Athens or Pireaus because you will be taking a taxi or a limo, the 5-star Lagonissi Grande Resort Hotel may be the finest in Greece and has luxury rooms and suites starting at 300 euros and going up to 2000 a night for a suite with a private pool.
Fantasy Travel has several island and mainland packages that feature hotels on the coast rather than in the center of Athens. If you don't want to be downtown because you are afraid, you don't like cities, or you don't know why but you just don't, be sure to check their Far from the Maddening Crowd Packages which along with being the antidote to the insanity of Athens happen to be a very good deal.
Remember that with the exception of the Vouliagmeni hotels, most of these hotels are on the X96 Airport-Pireaus bus line and many of them are on the coastal tram line. They all have bus service to downtown Athens and you can easily get to and from Athens and the port by Pireaus. A taxi transfer from the airport with George the Famous Taxi Driver should cost you the same as going to downtown Athens. You can also arrange day trips or half days into Athens as well as to Cape Sounion or around the mainland. Getting home at night from the Plaka by taxi is easy if you end up staying out after the tram has stopped running.
There are restaurants within walking distance of every hotel and you can get the names and directions of good ones from the concierge because there is probably a neigborhood taverna that only the locals know about. Otherwise Glyfada is full of restaurants from Sushi to Psistarias and if you just walk up and down the streets that come off the square you will find something you like.
If you go to Vari for the grill houses try Tassos which is the last place that I ate at and it was pretty good and there are several nice psistarias in the square in Voula.
The coastal tram that starts at the top of Syntagma Square zig-zags its way through urban Athens neighborhoods until it emerges magically at the sea in Faliron. Here it splits with one line going along the coast towards Pireaus, ending at the Faliron metro station and the other going southeast to Glyfada, and terminating in Voula. Though slow this is the easiest method of transportation to and from the coast, not including taking a taxi. The tram tracks and Posidonas Avenue follow the coast side by side until the tracks rudely cut across the road to wind its way through the streets of Glyfada, before cutting across the road again to its final stop in Voula. Posidonas Avenue itself continues all the way to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion and a number of buses follow it, most originating at Akadamias (The University on Panapistimiou Street that looks like ancient Athens, not the Politechniou on Patission street that looks like a scene from Bladerunner). The E22 goes all the way to Saronida/Anavissos, while the A2 and E2 (Express) only go as far as Voula. The A3 and B3 are trunk lines that go to Glyfada and from there you can find several buses that will take you further out to Vouliagmeni and Varkiza.
There are also buses that originate in Pireaus and follow the coast. The A1 and E1 (Express) go to Voula. There are other buses that originate in other parts of Athens that can get you to the coast but for that you need to get the public transportation map that is only in Greek. The one in English is probably suitable for your purposes. What makes the coast even more convenient is the fact that the X96 bus that connects the airport to the port of Pireaus passes through Vari, Vouliagmeni, Voula, Glyfada and Faliron on the way and you just need to know where to get off.
