 CHEWING gum, high heels, booming speakers and other modern plagues are seriously damaging Greece's 2500-year-old outdoor theatres and should be banned, according to the country's powerful archeological establishment. As the shows become more elaborate, with bulkier sets, high-volume speakers, and high heels clattering on the ancient marble, experts fear that theatres such as Epidavros, built 2400 years ago for men in leather sandals and relying on natural acoustics, are under threat. Add the wads of used chewing gum that regularly stud the old terraced marble seats, requiring painstaking removal, and the Central Archeological Council has declared war on modernity. more from daily news »  Have a nice cup of tea in the morningA daily cup of green tea can help in preventing heart diseases, a new study suggests. The study led by Athens Medical School in Greece has found that drinking green tea can swiftly improve the function of (endothelial) cells lining the circulatory system. Endothelial dysfunction is a key event in the progression of atherosclerosis. Lead researcher Dr Nikolaos Alexopoulos conducted randomised trial involving the diameter measurement (dilatation) of the brachial artery of healthy volunteers on three separate occasions - after taking green tea, caffeine, and hot water (for a placebo effect). more from health & fitness » Greek ostriches, cattle to be inspected after tick biteThe autorities in Greece on Thursday said it would run health inspections on ostrich farms and cattle in the north of the country after a woman died from a tick-borne haemorrhagic fever.

"An epidemiological study will be held in ostrich and small ruminant farms in Thrace, Macedonia, Epirus and the northern Aegean islands," the ministry said in a statement. more from health & fitness » Drug-dealing shepherds set up Crete crime empireAs befits a village that knows how to keep secrets, for most of the afternoon the drinkers in the taverna had been politely evasive about the illicit crops in the surrounding olive groves. Then, his tongue loosened by several glasses of home-made wine, one elderly man briefly began to talk. "For a long time, it was just anarchy," he said. "Police would not dare set foot here, even though the villagers were begging them to come. Yet the masterminds are still here - the police only caught the footsoldiers." more from daily news »
