Paleokastritsa: Call for lifeguards at Agios Petros and Agia Triada beaches
CORFU. Paleokastritsa Business Association is calling on the competent authorities to reconsider the negative decision on classifying Agios Petros and Agia Triada beaches as busy beaches and to ensure the provision of the required lifeguard protection.
Corfu pays, but who gets the money?
Cruise ships fill Corfu, but how much do they contribute towards the town’s needs? Why do Santorini and Mykonos collect four times as much in fees per passenger? Who decided that Corfu can cope with more while getting less?
It’s not just about drilling. It’s about a way of life.
We cannot say “no” to drilling and “yes” to a model of development that devours energy, water and natural resources. This contradiction does not invalidate the resistance. It reveals the need to change the very model of production. The problem is not just the drilling in the Ionian Sea. It is the economy that demands it and the way of life that sustains it.
Who is designing the new town?
The marina will reshape the coastline and add almost 20 stremma of new land. The question is: who is shaping the new Mantouki — the town’s Local Urban Plan or the marina’s investment plan?
΄Yes΄ for now
The “yes” to exploratory drilling merely puts the bigger confrontation off until later. For Corfu, though, the question remains: will it have a voice in decisions over oil and gas exploration in the Ionian, or will it regard the issue as beyond the remit of local government?
The Ionian Sea has wealth already

Benitses bypass: five years on, still at the study stage
CORFU. Corfu MP Dimitris Biangis is bringing the project back before Parliament, calling on four ministries to complete the outstanding studies, costing €1.72 million, and secure funding.
Projects that grow old before they are even built
Six years from the study to the contract, followed by another 18 months for construction. The slow development and approval of projects is not simply a matter of bureaucracy: it costs money, results in lost funding and leaves Corfu waiting.
How loud is too loud to live in the Old Town?
The court ruling has brought the issue of noise pollution back into the spotlight, but not without raising questions. Where does the 30-decibel limit actually apply and, above all, how is the right to a peaceful home protected in an Old Town?
