Plakias / Re: Update Plakias: At the end of March/April 2024

Kalispera Barni, I welcome the change or the process from a tourist summer resort to a proper town (like Agia Galini). Many families from Albania have recently moved to Plakias and the surrounding villages. There has been a large German-speaking and English-speaking community for many years.
I naturally take a critical view of the rapid construction of houses. Especially the many villas between Souda and Selia. In the long term, Plakias will also grow together with Lefkogia.
What struck me negatively in October 2023 was how the beaches from Souda to Damnoni were covered with sunbeds and umbrellas.
However, a stricter law has now been passed and I'm hoping for a positive change.
A new law was passed on 29 February 2024. In future, 70% of a beach is to be free of sun beds, as the government announced.

Another problem is of course the rubbish lying around in the landscape. When I walk from Plakias to Souda, the amount of rubbish on the roadside is unbelievable.
