Lars,
thank you so much. The problem is indeed my Greek locale that causes
failure in date-to-time().
I made the following patch
--- gnus-icalendar.el.orig 2016-02-23 09:04:49.755027543 +0200
+++ gnus-icalendar.el 2016-02-23 10:57:03.759362183 +0200

that seems to work. Jan, as the author has the final saying in this,
hopefully it doesn't break anything else, or there is just a better
solution. Hopefully it will be fixed in later versions of Emacs.
Again, thanks, it is a pleasure to finally get rid of Thunderbird and
have a plain text calendaring that works.
Regards,
Kostas
