ENVIRONMENT DAY IN ALIKARNASSOS

The Alikarnassos Sanitation Services, the Zoothohos Pigi Centre for Exceptional Children and the third and fourth graders from the First Grammar School in N. Alikarnassos, joined forces to clean the beachfront of the municipality in commemoration of International Environment Day. All participants received symbolic gifts – t-shirts and hats imprinted with "all together for the environment" – from Vice Mayor Kypreos.

"The survival of humanity depends on the protection of the natural environment and resources," he said. "Our existence in a clean and decent environment showcases our culture and safeguarding public health is an individual responsibility."  

TOWNSHIP TOURISM TAKES TO THE NET

The Alikarnassos Demos officially announced the start of its network gate, www.explore-crete.gr, in a ceremony attended by Mayor Sisamaki, Vice Mayors Mavraki, Kypreos and Perisynaki and other local officials.

The Department of Programming, Development and Social Policy will manage the promotional program, which aims to project and promote the cultural and tourism product of five regional municipalities, Zaros, Paliani, Temenos, Sfakia, with Alikarnassos in the driver's seat.

According to a spokesperson, the common denominator of these five townships is that while they have the necessary attributes and dynamics to develop and attract visitors from Greece, as well as abroad, they have not promoted their physical attributes and cultural heritage.
