90 Greek Beaches Eyed for Privatization

The beaches of Elafonisos, location of the famous Pavlopetri marine archaeological site, are among 90 beaches in Greece expected to be privatized. According to Greek news, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) is already inspecting various popular Greek beaches with a view for them to be sold as private property. Two coastal areas have already been sold, while more sales are being completed. Some of the beaches on the list for potential sale are: Yalova in Messinia, Tsampika and Agia Agathi in Rhodes, some of the most beautiful beaches in Halkidiki, Agios Prokopios in Naxos, Galissas in Syros and the accessible beach in Irakleia in the Cyclades. The coastal bill provides that the beaches in front of public property can even be exclusively used by the individual who will buy them, who will be able to prohibit any free access to the beach.
