Halki

Following Halki and Astypalaia, Poros is now poised to become Greece's third "green island" under the GR-Eco Islands initiative. 

But, in practice, how green are the country's "green islands"? The project is currently focused on energy and less polluting transportation, but it doesn't address waste, sewage, or water "production."

The Mihalos Foundation, represented by Chairman Peter Mihalos, last weekend signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Elliniko-Argyroupoli mayor and president of the association for the protection of Mount Hymettus, Giannis Konstantatos, for the foundation to implement initiatives concerning island path networks and the protection of the environment, during the Nisyrian Dialogues conference o

On Friday, November 5, the Prime Minister inaugurated in Halki the project concerning the first island of the national initiative GR-eco Islands, which aims to transform the islands of Greece into models of green economy, energy self-sufficiency, digital innovations and sustainable mobility.
