Snow pics from the northwest
Good evening everyone.
Even though it hasn't snowed in the northwest of the country (Epirus, prefecture of Ioannina) for the last week, snow is still a problem. Here are some pictures I was sent today from the region: Peristeri mountain (2225m) http://dias.aueb.gr/~kxv/tzedes/PERISTERI.JPG a house at 1400m: http://dias.aueb.gr/~kxv/tzedes/SPITAKI1400.JPG and a farm: http://dias.aueb.gr/~kxv/tzedes/STAVLOS1400.JPG Tsepelovo village: http://dias.aueb.gr/~kxv/tzedes/TSEPELOVO1.JPG town of Metsovo: http://dias.aueb.gr/~kxv/tzedes/Metsovo1.jpg http://dias.aueb.gr/~kxv/tzedes/METSOVOCAR.JPG http://dias.aueb.gr/~kxv/tzedes/Metsovo.jpg I'm not sure if temperatures have dropped below -12C there yet. Yannis, SE Athens 2.3/M04, still -SN |

Thats me, dollar down and a day late ... guess its because I always
associate Greece with sun having previously visited Rhodes, Corfu, Zante and Crete ... where the only skiis are the watery variety! Geoff "Yannis" wrote in message ... At this rate it wont be long before Greece features as a winter sports location .... http://www.snowreport.gr :-) |

O
Some-one must have had that idea a bit earlier, Geoff ;-)) http://www.gtp.gr/skicenters.asp I remember visiting Tsepelovo in the 1980s and being shown photos with a lot of snow... Then a lot of villagers headed down the hill for the winter.. Never understood why Greece never took off as a ski destination.. Richard Webb |

I have spent a fair amount of time skiing in Europe but have never ever seen
Greece advertised nor realised they have their own seemingly active industry. Perhaps Yannis should consider adding advertising mogul to his repertoire of abilities, it could prove a profitable mix!
