PETER farewell
Dear friends of Peter
Sorry – it took some time to write this.
Above all, because we could not fully believe it. And still do not really understand it. Peter was much too alive to die. But he did – at least as alive as possible. He died on April 23, 2021, clear-headed, aware of his situation, without complaint at three o’clock in the morning at the Health Center in Paros.

Are seaplanes the solution?
Among the many points of view that are heard for and against the expansion of Paros airport, several people see this expansion as a condition for a better offer of transport serving the island and others consider that it leads inevitably to a reckless kind of “development” and to the destruction of the Cycladic character of the island. The recent plan to create a network of hydroports and 30 seaplane water landing strips in the southern Aegean Sea and 150 across the country has been heralded as a godsend.

An opinion on the Paros airport extension project
We received this text following the publication and diffusion of two relevant texts of the Friends of Paros and Antiparos. We asked our friend, given the length of his text, to make a summary of it in order to feed the public debate, given its qualities. We believe that this public debate is necessary to inform the society of Paros and Antiparos on the issues. It is also necessary for decision-making.
