OTE | Organisation for telecommunications | |
|
In the OTE offices you effect your calls at official rate. It is usual
that hotels charge supplements up to 50%. Alternative: prepaid cards are available in almost all supermarkets and kiosks. The location of call boxes you find on the village map. Now as before it takes a while to get a subscriber’s line. Many people use mobile phones with prepaid cards (available in supermarkets and kiosks). Next telephone offices are in Malia and Hersonissos |

DEH (de-i) | Power-supply company | |
|
Stalida is supplied with electricity by a big power station outside
Heraklion. Especially in summer months there are accidental overloads
and this causes punctual power failures (most big hotel resorts have an
emergency generator at their disposal). This is also the season when
special-purpose vehicles go around and clean the capacitors at the poles
with water pressure from saline deposits and dust to avoid flying sparks. You surely will have the chance to hear this crackling during your stay. Every 2 months there is a payment on account (enanti) and every 4 months a final account (katharistiko). These bills also include general charges (Streetlights, Radio, TV). Supply voltage 220 V, 50 Hz, round, bipolar plugs. Odos Giorgos Petrakis14, Hersonissos |

DEYAM | Waterworks | |
|
As meanwhile all over the world, also on Crete water is a very precious
good. We’d like to point out, that also during your holiday (not only
back home), there should be no senseless or lavish use of water. Many
hotels, which are engaged in environment protection, animate their
guests to support this engagement by not automatically changing towels
daily and leaving the decision up to the guest, when fresh towels are
necessary. Quality of drinking water is very good here and tap water can safely be used to cook, to brush one’s teeth and so on. In the area there are also some places to bottle water, so i.e. at Krassi (a village worth seeing with a gigantic plane tree). The waterworks are located in Malia (soccer field) gpolic@tee.gr |

Greece or abroad and also those who do personal work full-time or
part-time based on work contract and not insured by another general
insurance. The office in charge is in Hersonissos |

DOY (TAXIS) | Tax Office | |

It would be rather complicated to explain Greek tax law. It is surely
interesting for tourists that tickets may be paid here. The office in charge is in Hersonissos |

OAED | Unemployment office | |
|
That is where you submit your documents to apply for bridging
grant in wintertime. Only after 2 seasons in which the employer has paid social
insurance, you have the right to receive this money. The bridging grant
is about the same for everybody and is about €250,00 per month. The
office in charge is in Hersonissos |
