The Times of London continued its more-or-less annual survey of Greece’s top island destinations, with verdant and “off-the-beaten” path Alonissos, in the central Aegean, topping the list.

In a letter to the Times, prominent politicians, professors and writers called on European governments, including the British, to support Greece and Cyprus on the occasion of a recent editorial in the newspaper entitled "Erdogan's Challenges".

According to British site thetimes.co.uk, Greece is taking urgent action to tackle Islamist extremists who have infiltrated a large refugee camp on Lesvos and are alleged to be coercing migrants into joining Islamic State.
