The 9th Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) will be held from April 27 to May 1 in Nafplio, in the eastern Peloponnese.

According to a statement, owners of 120 vessels have expressed an interest in the 95 available berths at the port of the southern Greek city, leading to another year with a waiting list.

Located in the small namesake village of south-western Skiathos, it is considered one of the most beautiful throughout Greece.

Since 2021, a team of researchers from the Swiss School of Archeology in Greece and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus and the Islands has been exploring the top of Mount Hellanion, the highest peak on Aegina island, as well as the entire Saronic Gulf. A sanctuary dedicated to Zeus previously stood where the Analipsi Chapel stands today, overlooking the gulf.

The presence of the Greek authorities on Mykonos to conduct inspections is necessary. However, the situation is not going to change substantially if the local community is not mobilized and if the local businesses do not realize the impasses created by anarchic development. 

It is also in their own interest to find and respect legal limits.

Despite promising signs for other parts of the country as regards the number of flights and seat bookings for the 2024 tourism season, Mykonos is seeing a decline in both indices for the second year in a row.

The figures so far show that this season will be exceptionally good for Greek tourism. However, this does not seem to be the case for Mykonos, which for the second consecutive year is showing that it will have fewer visitors.

Data show a fresh reduction, not only in bookings, but also in available airline seats.

Unlike nearby Mykonos, Andros is not a destination for glamourous celebs and wild partygoers

Aegina's water pipeline was not sabotaged, as previously believed, but rather burst due to technical faults, the island's mayor Giannis Zorbas said during municipal council meeting on Wednesday.

On the one hand, the government repeats it is pushing for "innovation, extroversion, modernization," but, on the other hand, in the bowels of the shadowy deep state, some illegible "interests" are following a reverse course. On Friday, serious acts of infrastructure sabotage were made public that had affected two Greek islands, Aegina and Crete.

Greece is investing - as it should - in modern infrastructure. It is a public asset that should not be left unguarded, exposed to petty and destructive local interests, as is the case with Aegina, where repeated instances of sabotage remain unsolved.
