I live in a beautiful part of SE Peloponnese, in Monemvasia. This a unique walled-in Byzantine city which attracts many visitors. Unfortunately we have a very poor marina, slowly developped over the years and yet neither completed nor managed. Could your Association have a look at it. A properly functioning marina would greatly enhance the area but also improve the services offered to the growing traffic of boats coming to our this wonderful destination. I am a retired VP New Business Development of a multinational company who was responsible for Europe, the ME and Eastern Europe; I am willing to help with the best of my abilities.
