    I see no environmental impact assessment mentioned in relation to these developments, which is very worrying. Of course Greece needs tourism, but not at the long term expense of the environment, which in fact supports not only tourism, but the well-being of all people of Greece.

    It is a shame the Marina in Vasiliki is not finished, it has been stagnant for 2 years now. Why start a new Marina in Vlycho before Vasiliki is finished.
