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.

‘Acropole Palace’ Hotel Reopens After Restoration
The historic “Acropole Palace” hotel in downtown Athens will be ready to use again in 2015, after the end of its ongoing restoration, as Lina Mendoni, general secretary of the Greek Culture Ministry said in the Central Council for Modern Monuments meeting on May 29. The historic building, located at the corner of Patission Str. and Averof Str. has been undergoing restoration since April 2013, funded by the National Strategic Reference Frameworks. According to Mendoni, the restoration is proceeding nicely and quickly and the renovated building will be used as a special venue for cultural events and programs. The original hotel was built in 1926 by the Greek architect Sotiris Magiasis. It has been one of the most important Greek buildings of the Art Nouveau architecture and in 1990 it was characterized by UNESCO as a shining example of “Art Nouveau” architecture in Europe. In 1973, during the Polytechnic revolt, the hotel and its basement hid many students, while renowned photographs and films of the era were taken from its balconies. Since 1977 the building has belonged to the Greek Ministry of Culture, which approved its restoration plan in 2008. However, after the major fire that broke out at the building in January 2012, modifications to the initial plan have been considered necessary. The modifications were discussed in yesterday’s Central Council for Modern Monuments meeting and were added to the existing restoration plan.
