Slowly everybody realizes that Mr. kefalogiannis ambition to build a gigantic industrial port in south Crete is fainting slowly. The Greek ministry of Economy advised the Prime minister against such a project in South Crete since there are no transportation means of the goods via train or road to the north.
Mr. Kefalogiannis however is looking for private investors to support his idiotic project. I am wandering if he can find any. He was already told in the parliament that this project doesn't make sense and now with the Chinese saying that they would like the Greeks to pay... well how many stupid investors are out there?

What a pity I don't read Greek, I would have loved to read the delicate politeness the Chinese normally use to tell somebody they are hopeless jerks!
I'll go have a look at the Komos Beach now to restraighten my view to reality, lately I've seen container ships passing every time I looked over the bay.

So for the time being you may keep taking your nice walks down to Komos beach without the risk of seeing containers ships and polluted sand and waters.

The report says that the sharks had enough waiting for Tymbaki (blame the inaction of the government,beuracracy etc) and they would like to try their luck with Gavdopula. Americans are also interested in the area for some reason, (anybody could guess why) and one Greek's politician's relative is the big shot on the island.
Very interesting article. What's next?

According to 'KATHIMERINI' Greek news paper from 17/03/06 Kefalogiannis would like to use favourable to Greece loans from the Euro Bank for investments up to 3 billion Euros to create his container harbour in Tymbaki.
Kefalogiannis however has said during his last trip in Moires and Tymbaki that the government will respect the wish of the people of the area. Therefore the people need to start collecting signatures and make some fuss against the Container project so Kefalogiannis finally backs off.

Anyhow the 50 MW solar park might be something but the 100 KW solar unit for Gavdos is a little bit small. But better this than an emission polluting engine/generator system. Thanks for the eia.doe site address.

Yeah you're right and so does the F1 racecourse in Lassithi, the airport in Anogia and you mentioned Gavdopoula which is just a hundred meters from Gavdos.

It's not the number of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away.

In an unexpected press release, the Minister of Mercantile Marine Mr. Manolis Kefaloyiannis, announced late last night that all the preliminary studies for the new port in the south of Crete have been completed in 4 months, a record time for a project that is going to cost more than 600 million Euro.
In the next month, Mr. Kefaloyiannis, together with a team of technical experts including the Prime Minister’s financial adviser, will travel to Beijing to finalise the agreement between Greek and the Chinese governments. The agreement will be signed later, probably during the visit of the Prime Minister of China, which is expected in late June.

Instead of using the money wisely to fix the roads, pick up the garbage and improve the public toilets (don't mention the health facilities), they are throwing the money again for useless studies which have objectives other than the ones advertised.
