In any case, the ongoing comparison with my brother in terms of competence as well as social and professional recognition, is a great challenge for me. I would like to note that the problems of small banks are often related to their size, especially in an era of intense competition and expansion of credit institutions.
A: It is misleading to call ASPIS Bank a small bank because this ignores the existence of ASPIS Group, which is a large, full-scale integrated financial services Group with a dynamic and extensive sales network throughout Greece and vital synergies that have not yet provided the maximum returns.
ASPIS Bank has the background and the know-how to become a leader in the upcoming developments and the notion that it is "small" is a rather short sighted one.

 The Larissa and the Aspis | Museum/Attraction Review | Argos | Frommers.com
Argos was famous in antiquity for its two citadels; the 905-foot-high Larissa was well fortified by the 6th century B.C. When you reach the Larissa summit, you'll be able to spot the more elegant ancient blocks that were reused in the medieval battlements.
With the exception of one tower, the summit here really is a confusing jumble of low walls and the indeterminate depressions in the earth that mark building foundations.
If you drive, ask for directions to the Kastro, or castle, as the Larissa is called, at the theater, the Archaeological museum, or the police station, as roads in Argos are in a seemingly constant state of flux.
