You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Hellenic Post S.A.''' (((lang-el|Ελληνικά Ταχυδρομεία)), abbreviated ΕΛΤΑ, '''ELTA''') is the state-owned provider of [[mail|postal]] services in [[Greece]]. It succeeded the former government Postal Service, founded in 1828. ELTA provides a universal postal service to all parts of Greece and is a member of the [[Universal Postal Union]]. Services provided include: [[Mail|letter post]]; [[Parcel post|parcel service]]; [[deposit account]]s; Swiftpost, a nationwide next-day delivery service; and the [[Express mail|EMS]] international express mail service.

==History==
Hellenic Post was founded in 1828 along with the modern Greek state. Since 1996 it has been operating as a public limited company owned by the state.

In 1834 an agreement with French banker Francois Feraldi ensured mail service to and from the Greek islands, and in 1836 placed the first wagons for transporting mail between [[Athens]] and [[Piraeus]].

In 1860 the law on stamps came into force, and the first Greek postage stamp was printed at the [[Paris Mint]], symbolically the head of [[Hermes]].

In 1869 ELTA started using the Greek railway system, and in 1874 it was one of the founding members in the [[Universal Postal Union]] established in [[Bern]].

In 1892 telephone services were added to the responsibilities of the post.

In 1909 the company inaugurated the rural postal service, which for remained for decades the sole means of communication for farmers in difficult to reach rural areas.

Starting in 1926, the Italian [[Aero Espresso Italiana|Aero Espresso]] started offering its services to ELTA for mail delivery by plane.

During the [[Greek Civil War]], the post office was always present, ensuring and enabling communication with the front. In 1949, with the establishment of [[OTE]], the telegraph and telephone services were separated from the postal service, which now became the sole service of ELTA.

Since 2006 ELTA have been providing banking services, in accordance with the partnership with Hellenic Postbank.
