Tony Kyriakou and his team at Greek Toys and Books have been working hard over the past few years to provide educational material for our Greek-Australian community.

Greek Toys and Books are Australia’s Greek language children’s product specialists. They have a wide range of fun and educational Greek language products including Greek children’s books, Greek kids DVDs, Greek toys and Greek educational products.
I had the pleasure of meeting Tony at the Greek Festival in Sydney last year and we’ve also had a chat with with him on the radio show.
Tony spoke to us back then about his idea of creating his own bi-lingual Greek-English products for the Greek-Australian community.

His determination has paid off and Greek Toys and Books are now proud to announce the release of a new bilingual Greek-English DVD produced right here in Australia specifically for the needs of Greek-Australian families.
The DVD is available for only $20.

Kostas Karamanlis touched on the credit storm and the government’s initiatives regarding the nation’s economy. He then went on to blast the main opposition party for being irresponsible and lacking respect for the nation’s institutions. Karamanlis said he will visit Thursday the President of the Republic and ask him to dissolve the Parliament. The Greek Premier’s decision to call an early vote in autumn has set all the political parties on fire, since the pre-election period will only last one month. Journalistic sources said that the vote has been scheduled for 4 October.
Greek fire brigade officials on Monday afternoon appeared confident that efforts to extinguish the last remaining wildfires in Attica prefecture would be successful by nightfall, with the emphasis now shifting to preventing any rekindling of fires.
