    fix pass after the batch check. Currency & Banking, Tap Water and SIM Card now read as in the Greece country prep and the other researched Greek cities: the unsourced bank names went, and the tap-water and SIM sentences were aligned. Public Transport Passes and Regional Travel now rest on a reachable fare page, dropping the Athens return fare and the per-kilometre band that only the unreachable operator page showed. Bike/Scooter Rental lost the unsupported Nydri branch. Gyms & Fitness Centers and Libraries & Study Spots gained pages showing the address and the phone. Corporate Tax and Dividend Withholding Tax gained their rate pages. Best Coworking Space moved to the not-verified list because its only listing is behind a bot block.
