Πέθανε ο Αλέξανδρος Χαΐτογλου

 του «Μακεδονικού Χαλβά»

Σκιάθος: «Κατενθουσιασμένος» έφυγε 

από το νησί ο σεΐχης του Κατάρ

Ο σεΐχης του Κατάρ Χαμάντ μπιν Τζασίμ μπιν Τζαμπέρ αλ 

Θάνι, αναχώρησε χθες το βράδυ από τη Σκιάθο, με το βασιλικό

 αεροπλάνο που τον ανέμενε στον αερολιμένα του νησιού

 «Αλέξανδρος Παπαδιαμάντης».

Ο υψηλός επισκέπτης της Σκιάθου, όπως και τα μέλη της βασιλικής οικογένειας

 που τον συνόδευαν, έφυγε για την πρωτεύουσα Ντόχα του Κατάρ,

 κατενθουσιασμένος, όπως αναφέρουν οι πληροφορίες, για άλλη μια φορά.

Ο σεΐχης επισκέφτηκε και φέτος το ξενοδοχείο "Σκιάθος Παλλάς"και δείπνησε

 με την οικογένειά του στο εστιατόριο "White view"επιλέγοντας να γευτεί το 

αγαπημένο του ντόπιο αρνάκι γάλακτος στη σούβλα, ενώ ήπιε χυμό ρόδι.

Τα μέλη της βασιλικής οικογένειας πριν αναχωρήσουν, δείπνησαν με τον σεΐχη 

στην τραπεζαρία του πολυτελούς ιδιωτικού αεροσκάφους και το δείπνο

 περιελάμβανε αστακούς, ψάρια και θαλασσινά από τη Σκιάθο, χυμούς και 

ντόπια εκλεκτά κρέατα, τα οποία ετοίμασαν οι σεφ του διάσημου εστιατορίου

 "Καρνάγιο"της Σκιάθου και μεταφέρθηκαν με ειδικά σκεύη στο βασιλικό

 αεροσκάφος.

Οι ιδιοκτήτες του "Σκιάθος Παλλάς"χάρισαν στον σεΐχη ένα δένδρο ελιάς, που

 συμβολίζει την ειρήνη, και ο σεΐχης τοποθέτησε το δώρο στο κατάστρωμα της

 θαλαμηγού του "Αλ Μιρκάμπ"σε περίοπτη θέση δίπλα στην μεγάλη πισίνα.

Σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες, ο σεΐχης του Κατάρ θα συνεχίσει μετά από διάστημα

 30 περίπου ημερών την καλοκαιρινή του κρουαζιέρα από την Κυανή Ακτή 

της Γαλλίας και αναμένεται να επανέλθει στη Σκιάθο με την υπερπολυτελή

 θαλαμηγό του περί τα τέλη Αυγούστου.

Η "Αλ Μιρκάμπ"καθ΄όλη την διάρκεια της παραμονής του σεΐχη στην Σκιάθο,

 αγκυροβόλησε, όπως συνηθίζεται κάθε χρόνο, στην παραλία Μάραθα και σε 

απόσταση αναπνοής από το ξενοδοχείο "Σκιάθος Παλλάς".

Το πλωτό παλάτι του Άραβα κροίσου, μήκους 133 μέτρων, είναι το έκτο

 μεγαλύτερο γιωτ στον κόσμο και ένα από τα τρία ακριβότερα που έχουν 

κατασκευαστεί ποτέ. Έχει πλήρωμα 51 ατόμων, διαθέτει 12 σουίτες, δύο πισίνες,

 ελικοδρόμιο, γυμναστήριο, τζακούζι και αίθουσα κινηματογράφου, ενώ κόστισε

 300.000.000 ευρώ.

Οι γαλάζιες σημαίες της Λήμνου για το 2016 

Πουλήθηκε η βίλα του Γιάννου Παπαντωνίου στη Σύρο

Μετά από αρκετά χρόνια στην Σύρο, ο πρώην υπουργός 

 Γιάννος Παπαντωνίου, φαίνεται τελικά πως πούλησε το

 εξοχικό του σπίτι στην Σύρο σύμφωνα με το σάιτ

 Cyclades24.gr.

Νέος ιδιοκτήτης είναι Ελληνοαμερικανός επιχειρηματίας οποίος άρπαξε την

 ευκαιρία και αγόρασε την πολυτελη κατοικία, που βρίσκεται σε ένα από τα πιο

 εντυπωσιακά σημεία της Σύρου και έχει φιλοξενήσει κατά καιρούς σπουδαίες 

προσωπικότητες της πολιτικής, όπως, μεταξύ άλλων, τον Φρανσουά Ολάντ.

Στο ίδιο σάιτ αναφέρεται ότι η τιμή της βίλας ήταν 1,8 εκατ. ευρώ.
