Iran has agreed to release the crews of the MT Prudent Warrior and Delta Poseidon, which it seized in May in response to the confiscation of oil by the United States from an Iranian-flagged tanker in Greece.

We opt for minibus taxi Pelion cooked-to-order pancakes with chocolate sauce, private day tours in Meteora greece watermelon, good coffee from a high-end Douwe Egberts machine and croissants, before taking advantage of the hotel's handy location in Omonia Square, which has a metro station just three stops from Akropoli - the station for the Acropolis.

The other contented-looking guests, lounging on loungers and lolling in cabanas, are busying themselves with selfies and soaking up the August rays, which are pushing the mercury to the late-30s Celsius.
We parents, meanwhile, are taking the window this unannounced babysitting shift has afforded us to soak in the view, which is stupendous - an almost-360-degree panorama of Athens, piraeus bus to Pelion including the famed Acropolis, which lies a couple of miles away.
