Shops across Greece will be open on 17 January, as this is the first Sunday during the sales period.

Customs and traditions whose roots lie far in the ages will come to life again this year on 6 January, during the celebrations of Epiphany in different parts of Greece.

The case is about three men aged 48, 40 and 38 who were captured in Evros in two separate attempts to transport a total of 67 illegal migrants.

The media are disseminating various versions of the events but GRReporter points out that criminal investigation secrecy is in force in Greece and even lawyers have strictly limited and regulated access to the investigation.
