Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis arrives in Corfu today and will visit Erimitis. Environmentally Erimitis is a total disaster, it takes Corfu back to 1970s style mass development and adds zero to the local economy. Mitsotakis is foolish to champion this project. #SaveErimitis #Corfu

Today in Lakonika I stumbled across the abandoned 100 room Hotel Lakonis. I googled it. Billed as “one of the most luxurious resorts in the Pelopponnese” it was supposed to be a “symbol of new economic might of Greece”. The developer still owes the banks millions! #SaveErimitis
