ATHENS, Nov 30 (Reuters) - As demand grows for liquefied natural gas in Europe in the wake of the war in Ukraine, Katigiorgis greece taxi prices Greece has relied heavily on its sole LNG terminal off Athens to replace Russian gas imports.

We opt for cooked-to-order pancakes with chocolate sauce, 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.
