The Greek Post Office (ELTA) and the Philately Department have issued commemorative stamps on the total eclipse of the sun which was seen in full in Greece only from the border Dodecanese tiny island of Kastelorizo on March 29.

The stamps are showing the various phases of the eclipse. Among the photographs are five from Athens News Agency-Macedonian Press Agency (ANA-MPA) photographer Orestis Panagiotou.

 The 15 stamps amount to a total value of 15 euros.
The commemorative stamps, "When day became night for a few minutes!", are provided by the Central Philatelic Office (Vyssis 2 and Eolou, 101 88 Athens), but can also be ordered from all the country's post offices.
