It says laying foundations guys, all I can see is a very big hole, for what?
I don't remember seeing anything on the plans that would need a foundation that deep!

Good one!!!

There won't be any of my money in there, yet!

I'll have another look when it's all finished, but I still don't fancy living in an 'Eldorado' at the moment.

These pictures are the reality.
During our stay we have seen these construction works. Nearly every day the lorries with the cement were on the construction site.
Sometimes it was loud and very dusty.

These pictures accurately represent how it was when I left 3 weeks ago. Yes, they were laying concrete some days but you can't see this from the "far end". Very occasionally you could hear something, but not more than you could hear the works on the new harbour across the bay. If your balcony at Palegremnos faced that way you would see the works at breakfast and lunch time but all the workers had gone long before the pre-prandial drinks.

It's not a huge problem yet.

Are they getting near to Antonis place yet? That really would spoil my lunch!  48 days to go!

According to the plans, I would say "yes". I think it will takes a long time until they will reach Antonis place.
As we left Plakias they had started with the ground works for the second building next to the Paligremnos.

Hi

Couple of points:

1.  Yes, the foundations are this deep, when you are building on sand you need to get down the rock underneath.

2.  No, it will not get as far as Adonis' Place.  The development goes as far as the white building opposite the beach bar.

Other news is that Plakias Panorama has now been painted a stoney colour so does not stick out nearly as much as it did.

Hi Dave & Ali,

Thanks for the info, just to clarify.

Am I right in assuming that you mean the gap between Antoni's Place and the Paligremnos?

Or is it the gap between the old Meltimi nightclub and Antoni's Place?

Hi Steve

The development goes from Paligremnos to the Beach Bar.  I not sure why I thought the building was white, walking in just now I looked at it and thought, mmmm, not much white there!!

Here is a little video I made 2 weeks ago from the first floor of the Paligremnos looking towards Plakias.  It shows exactly where the present building work is taking place.

We all know this is happening, but let's be honest, it really doesn't look 'That' bad at the moment, well I don't think so!

Probably better to wait and form my own opinion when I get there this year!!
