Exactly, that is why I prefer not to bother them.
It's pretty obvious that the reasoning behind this is Easter and the warming weather. It's not the swimming or water sports that are the problem, it's the inevitable congregations on the beaches and elsewhere afterwards that the government is keen to avoid - and rightly so. Greece has a similar small group of 'my constitutional rights' idiots as many other countries and they are a danger to us all. Greece is also fortunate in having reacted very quickly with the shutdown - and it looks to be working too. If you look at Greece's numbers here you'll see that the rate of reported infections is beginning to plateau and the death rate is still very low and linear. Now is not the time to be talking about constitutional rights, now is the time to be looking out for ourselves and each other.The legal action also concerns the violation of Constitutional right.
I think he mentioned €5000 fine for every crew member on entry?Did I hear right there are now bending the rule to let the delivery of new boat enter Greece ?
I think it was €500 Bob , but I read some thing in Greek that they where letting the 13 or so new boat arrive. Each having three crew on board ,I think he mentioned €5000 fine for every crew member on entry?
My god ... I bet there in no hurry to lift restrictions at that rate .The Greek state had collected a total of 4.25 million euros by April 3 in fines issued nationwide for violations of measures restricting the movement of citizens and the activities of many businesses to stem the spread of the new coronavirus.
According to data released by the Hellenic Police (ELAS), since the ban on non-essential movement was introduced on March 23, inspections yielded 17,358 violations, each of which resulted in a fine of 150 euros, bringing in a total of 2.6 million euros.
Most of these violations were recorded in the region of Attica, followed by the northern port city of Thessaloniki, the islands of the Ionian and Western Greece.
In the report on this that I read they also said that a significant proportion of these fines would be going to the health service.The Greek state had collected a total of 4.25 million euros by April 3 in fines issued nationwide for violations of measures restricting the movement of citizens and the activities of many businesses to stem the spread of the new coronavirus.

That would be the sensible thing to do.In the report on this that I read they also said that a significant proportion of these fines would be going to the health service.
I was following the posting on Another sailing forum where it seen one of the guys who sailed one of the 13? New Charter boat from France to Greece was complaining about the news papers calling them pirates and how unfair it was so on and so on,
only then to post their route showing they made several stops and even diverted part of the way down Sardinia to make a stop .
After an up roar of people telling him what they thought of him and the rest, admin shown his hand and stopped all comments.
If he was looking for sympathy, he was very must mistaken.

Noticed also that all villa´s normally empty for most of the year are now lived in. People flee Athens. More car and moped traffic then usual.
