Fix pass: Currency & Banking keeps the country prep exchange rate and date and removes the later daily-rate aside; Tap Water adopts the shared country qualification without an island supply assumption; Power and SIM Card adopt common country wording with unchanged voltage, plugs and prepaid prices.

Research attribution and verification date updated; health-centre and supermarket addresses and archaeological museum hours and price confirmed without changing their items (https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Greece, https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml, https://www.2dype.gov.gr/health_centers/kentro-ygeias-tinou/, https://archaeologicalmuseums.gr/en/museum/5df34af3deca5e2d79e8c19d/archaeological-museum-of-tinos, https://www.vrisko.gr/en/dir/super-markets/tinos/, https://www.aade.gr/en/greeks-abroad-non-residents/income-taxation/tax-incentives-order-attract-new-tax-residents).
