One down .......

So, the first of the businesses (near Ammoudi) has gone under. How many more will follow?

Last night, apart from some very noisy tourists (who had obviously already drunk all of the beer in the all inclusive hotel) wandering around the town, it felt like October.

We might have one chance to save our tourism. Stop talking and take positive action.

The marketing plan for bringing good quality tourism to this area in 2009 should have been finalised and completed by now.

Never mind. At least we will have a new road going to the ΒΙΟΠΑ ............

We can all spend the summer driving up and down our fabulous new road next year ........

Because unless we get our priorities sorted out, we won't have anything else to do !!!!!!

Concert at Kitroplatia

What a fantastic concert by Methen Agan last night. Sadly, I missed the reunion concert by Argonavtes.

Kitroplatia was full of local people and tourists who all had a fantastic evening of entertainment. The restaurants and cafe bars were so busy they could not serve quickly enough. A lot of money was taken by the businesses in the area.

So why only once a year?

good grief (continued)

And how many Greeks do you think will be working at the ΒΙΟΠΑ?

Very few, I am sure ..........

Good grief!

So the council are going to build a new road to the industrial park ......

Total cost 1,170,000 euros

For what?

What industry?

More door and window manufacturers?

Do they have any idea how much tourism marketing could be done with that much money??????

The road to Elounda

I know that the men in power all have nice cars, but maybe the mayor should be forced to ride a scooter from Havani a to Ammoudi.

The road is so bad that you have to ride in the centre of it. This is a really good way to get killed by the buses, taxis and impatient drivers who try to force you into the side of the road.

Perhaps they could do something about it before one of us, or one of the tourists, dies.

Summer season

So it is August.

The municipality are allowing OTE to dig the road up right next to Ammoudara beach. How is this helping our tourism?

Are they completely stupid?

The last meeting of the council before they have their summer holiday was another waste of time.

Still not one single person has taken any action to change the tourism plan for next year. We have to do it NOW!!!!!!

We do not have time to discuss, have meetings, form commitees and do nothing.

If nothing changes we will not need a "δακτυλιδι" next year. There will not be any tourists to worry about ..........
