Efforts to Register Road Near Monastery of St. Abakum
October 28, 2025
The community council of Fterikoudi is seeking to register and widen a 2.5 km road leading to the Monastery of St. Abakum, which raises legal and environmental concerns. The existing road needs to be widened to 5.5 meters, necessitating a special ecological assessment because it passes near Natura 2000 areas. Legal access is essential for the monastery's regularization, which was built without permits. The case is currently under judicial review due to unauthorized constructions. Project modifications have been made in response to concerns from the Department of Game and Fauna.
