HELLENIC POST - ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΤΑΧΥΔΡΟΜΕΙΑ

Today, we took advantage of the beautiful weather, and with a group of students, we visited our local post-office. We took some photos and asked the post office clerk to inform us about the letter distribution system. The students will spread the information they got to the rest of the students who participate in our project and upload it on our special page and our blog. Hellenic post! We the Greeks are Hellenes, Greece is Hellas. Do you know whose is that face with the feathered hat on the sign?

 

Student's Report of our visit to the post office

In case someone wants to send a letter, he has to go to the local post office. There he buys a stamp, the price of which depends on the destination of the letter and its weight. Then he give the letter to the clerk in the post office.

All the letters are collected and they are sent to Thessaloniki when the post office is closed at 3 o'clock.

In Thessaloniki, the letters are separated according to their destination. However some letters are sent to Athens and from there to their final destination. A night, the latest, they are sent to their recipients in different destinations.

ΜΑΡΤΗΣ

On the 1st March, children and grown ups, usually make a small bracelet with red and white thread. They wear it in March and is supposed to protect them from the hot rays of the sun. You could make one too. It is very easy and it looks nice. Do you have that custom in your country or a similar one?
