I don't even know exactly what that means, I'm not up on my Greek literary references, but I love it! Snap!
I visited this hotel a couple of times when I was in Athens last fall. Had a nice afternoon tea there with friends in the Winter Garden, stopped by again to get a book on the hotel's history in the gift shop, and then took the friends I was staying with out for a really nice dinner on my last night in town at the GB Roof Garden restaurant. Stunning old hotel.
Your translation was more elegant than the one I got. TBH I am stumped.
Specifically from circles of the company "Lampsa SA", it is pointed out that the circulating "information" about the sale of the Hotel "Great Britain", is moving in the realm of the phaedrus and in a particularly difficult period for the country and Greek tourism, which do not fit jokes.
