Properties in Greece

I read with great interest the following post by Independent: Greek Paradise

First of all, I would like to make clear that I agree with the most of the concerns stated in the article. Indeed, due to un-controlled properties development in Greece for many years now, makes very possible the paradise of Cyclades Islands to be destroyed. Off course, following the recent globe financial crisis, the situation now is slightly different. But the problem remains and actually is a complicated problem. Difficult to suggest any particular solution, but we could point some things:
  • Any solution should take in to account that the nature of the Greek Islands should be protected by any way. Protection of the physical environment should be a must and not a second priority.
  • The promotion of the Greek Islands should follow the trend for holidays with ecological concerns and sensitivity.
  • Greek Islands, and especially the Cyclades Islands are of a unique nature. Any property and construction policy should be restricted such that is for the benefit of all (tourists, developers, locals, goverment) and most importantly to ensure the safety of the nature.
  • I am suggesting some places to be declared from national organizations (like United Nations, European Union) as protected and to be supervised by local and international authorities.
This is just few points that could be a starting point for any possible solution. The problem is serious and we will post any other related posts from local or international mass media. The same applies also for other Greek Islands like Rhodes and Crete.

We will post again soon,
