I guess Olympic Airways runs the Greek postal service… the postcards we mailed from Santorini on 15 September finally arrived today. Total transit time: 38 days.

The Greek post is clearly a much better value than the USPS. Consider that each postcard cost us 70 cents to mail — it seems expensive, yes, but bear with me. Mailing a postcard in the US costs 23 cents, and arrives within 3 days, for a final cost of over 7 cents per day. Our Greek postcards, due to their leisurely month-plus time en route, cost less than a half-cent per day. That represents a real value in international postal service; it’s 92% cheaper! Think of the money US corporations could save if they sent all their business correspondence from Greece.
