Help!!! Greek Law question - 15 years ago
I am wondering if anybody on the forum is knowledgeable about Greek Law. I have inherited my mothers apartment in Kalikratia and Her lawyer Roula Fernandez has asked me to get something that proves that I am the only son or beneficiary of the will.

Re: Hotel Mallas (Nea Kalikratia) in Halkidiki - 16 years ago
Sorry I may have mislead you. I have not stayed at Hotel Mallas. I have an apartment in Nea Kalikratia. I have been in and it is very nice. The beach at Kalkratia is nice. It depends how old you are also beause if you go along the coast there is a place called Nea Plage which is for all the young teenagers really busy at the weekends. But if you go to the right as you face the sea by car alongby Richard Daker - Halkidiki
Re: Hotel Mallas (Nea Kalikratia) in Halkidiki - 16 years ago
Hotel Mallas is a very nice hotel. I have been going to Kalikratia for the last 23 years. It is not as busy as Hanioti, Kalithea etc, but very nice. It is well worth a drive to the first finger and also the second finger which is beautiful. In Kalikratia have a drink at Cafe Le Monde, they are very nice in there. Let me know how you go on in Kalikratia. Enjoy your stayby Richard Daker - Halkidiki
