Bottle refunds in Athens

"Η Αθήνα αλλάζει" says the sign ("Athens is changing").

You can return used bottles to central collection points around the city and receive €0.03 back per bottle. This is less than Germany however (usually €0.25). The guy supervising drop-offs told me the machines had been there for 5 years, though I don't remember seeing them last time (2022). The machine is open between 10am and 3:30pm, seven days a week - when he is there. You get a voucher for your money that can be redeemed at a cooperating store. I will use one tomorrow and see what happens.

Thia Christina and I visited Thio George and Thia Matina yesterday. They were happy to see us. Pictures.

I saw the local vegetable seller this morning. He drives with onions and potatoes in the back of his ute, advertising with a megaphone. See video.Leggi altro
