Reinstatement of Pebbles at "Faros" Beach
August 19, 2025
The Minister of Agriculture announced that the pebbles removed from "Faros" beach will be reinstated and that the illegal action by the Dromolaxia-Meneou Municipality will not be tolerated. The removal of the pebbles contributes to the erosion of the beach, despite tourism intentions. The Department of Environment and the Minister emphasize the importance of protecting the natural beauty and environmental value of the island's beaches. There have been repeated complaints from citizens regarding the movement of materials at the beach. The Minister called for an immediate halt to the movement of the pebbles and stressed the need for restoring the beach's natural characteristics.
