Hi Everyone

Only a week to go now and I was wondering if anyone could give me an update as to whats happening with the building work at the moment. Staying at the Paligremnos so would like to know.

Having spent first a week in June and more recently last two weeks in August in Plakias, I think it’s fair to say that progress has been minimal over that intervening period of two or so months (even since last August). We on one day only (last Sunday) saw one person on the site working and a dog in its site guarding kennel. If the weather is the same, the noise of the wind moving the Paligremnos trees will more than drown out any construction noise (if there is any).

Enjoy.

Susan-
Just a clarification to the comment from Ruth & Ian-I am not sure what they meant by "minimal", but let me assure you that a lot of work has been accomplished- specifically in the area of exterior stucco work- True the pace was slow over the winter and spring, but has picked up considerably-
Trust me, this development is moving along.

I took a couple of photos yesterday morning, before flying home.
I will try and add them to the site within the next few days.

The other development behind and between the Paligremnos and Plakias Bay hotels is also nearing completion.

Work is going on steadily at the "carbuncle on the face of the beach road".Today there seemed to be quite a few workers. Exterior plastering is progressing
and electricians are working on the electric cabelling.

Hi dimitri
To the majority of people on this site Plakias still is paradise, and we'll be returning year after year. You don't think a little bit of building work way outside town is going to put the genuine Plakiasites off do you?
Horrible? There won't be many people on this site who'll agree with you!
