Permanent closure of Melios Zoo Park due to violations
April 9, 2026
The Melios Zoo Park is closing permanently due to violations concerning permits, safety, and operations. The Supreme Constitutional Court rejected the owner's appeal, confirming the lower court's decision. Violations included illegal expansions and non-compliance with safety requirements. The issue of renewing the operating permit was also central, as it had been denied since 2017. The Court found that most of the owner's claims were largely unfounded.
