OK- I thought I would give you all an update on the new harbor planned for Plakias just west of town- past Horizon Hotel. I reviewed the plans with the mayor two weeks ago and I am told that the construction will start on April 15 and the contractor has 24 months to finish. Not to worry about all the trucks rumbling through town- the plan is to have everything brought in by boat. Knowing how our Greek friends  keep schedules, I am taking a wait and see attitude about the 15th. If they start, then we should have some excitement in the old town.

Thanks for the info santa. I must admit, I didn't know there was to be a new harbour - is this because the old harbour is too small or for some other reason? I presume the old harbour will still be used when the new harbour is finished or are there other plans for it?

Graham and Karen- The old harbor will still be in place. The new one will take on additional fishing boats as well as some pleasure crafts-- It all sounds very exciting to me-

That's good to hear. A few more people employed in traditional occupations like fishing will help to keep Plakias special.

I agree with you totally- On another subject, a local "Artist" had an inspiration and painted the breakwater wall of the harbor. Be prepared- you can't miss it as you enter the town. Some of you don't like the fountain- boy are you going to have a field day with this bit of art. I suppose we will all get used to it in time. As for me, it is totally out of character especially the colors. Maybe it will look better after some RAKI- Hey- judge for yourself. Also, the taverna in the center of town- the one below the dive2gether center is gone and being replaced by some stores.

Let's pray it's better than the harbour wall at Matala

Wow- it does have a bit of charm- don't you think- If this is the benchmark, then we are ok in Plakias- I warn you though that the colors do have some punch- but hey it is only a few weeks for you and you can judge for yourself.

I had another look at the wall this weekend and it is beginning to grow on me. Have to get used to it becuase it is what it is.
