Also, money from these legacies will be the emergence of the old village tap -a historical monument Sellion- beside which lies a tree 100 years.

Thanks for that, I think.  It just goes to show the different sentence structure in Greek and English!

It does appear that there are going to be some interesting developments.  Do you think this mean that the parking area around Kri-Kri/Lysseos is going to become a little square - that would be lovely.

I hope that any development of kerbs takes into account disabled access.  Currently, pavements in and around Plakias are awful, and whilst the sea front promenade is okay, the level access is often block by taxis and cars.

It has a new sign, Platia Katsaragakis, but is still used as a car-park.

The free parking areas seem to be ignored.
