La Grèce va mettre en vente 110 des plus belles plages du pays.
C’est via TAIPED, l’agence de privatisation, que l’État va offrir ces sites naturels, parmi les plus beaux du pays : des baux d’une durée de 50 ans sont proposés aux investisseurs.
Parmi ces joyaux du patrimoine naturel grec, les plages de Myrto à Kato Achaia ou encore Vasiliki à Lefkada et Kalamitsi à Chalkidiki, mais aussi la baie de Simos et la plage de Sarakino, sur l’île Elafonissos, située au sud du Péloponnèse.
Ces derniers appartiennent à la réserve européenne Natura 2000 [1].
Ce site de plus de 17 hectares, jusqu’alors préservé, va devenir la cible des promoteurs et du bétonnage qui se répand dans leur sillage.
Athènes espère ainsi réduire une partie de sa dette auprès des banques.

Greece sells 110 of its best beaches in the name of “development”
One hundred and ten of Greece’s best beaches are on sale by Greece’s privatization agency, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (TAIPED) in the name of supposed “development” and “utilization of public assets”. In fact a sale off of Greece best beaches for cash so that the debt-ridden country can pay back its lenders.
The beaches plots are to be on sale with “50 years of utilization by the new owners.”
In the list of TAIPED are featured among others Myrto Beach in Kato Achaia, Vasiliki Beach in Lefkada, Kalmitsi beach in Chalkidiki and – what a shame – two beaches in Elafonisos, the small island between Peloponnese and Kythira, famous for its blue-green waters and light colored sandy beaches.
From the list of 110 beaches
Myrtoula beach, Kato Achaia area, West Achaia Municipality, Achaia
Korfoxylia, Magouliana area, Municipality of Gortynia, Arcadia
Agioi Anargyroi area, Municipality of Ermioni, Argolida, Peloponnese
Koronissia area, Arta
Kalamitsi, Municipality of Sithonia, Chalkidiki
Nea Propontida, Nea Irakleia, Chalkidiki
Nea Fokea area, Kassandra Municipality, Chalkidiki
Porto Koufo area, Toroni, Sithonia Municipality, Chalkidiki
Filizi area, near Naousa, Paros island, Cyclades
Apokofto or Agia Kyriaki, Agios Ioannis area, Tinos island, Cyclades
Ixia, Rhodes island, Dodecanese (via postin.gr)
Elafonisos
Breathtaking Sarakino beach and Simos beach in Elafonisos are furthermore under the protection of European Program “Natura 2000″.
For sale is a 175,000 sq m plot of Sarakino beach. While TAIPED warns the future buyers of Forestry, Enviromental and Legal restrictions, it notes that the investor could build Hotel and/or vacation homes.
The Guardian on Elafonisos
“Elafonisos has the best beach in Greece. So said more than one local during our stay nearby. It’s quite a claim given the reputation of the country’s islands, and you might imagine it would be hard for the beach to live up to expectations. But catching sight of it for the first time I found myself saying, “Wow!” Here was the fine sand and clear aquamarine water you rarely see outside of adverts for the Caribbean. The banner flapping gently over the entrance to Simos beach said it all: “Welcome to Paradise.”However after the outcry in Greece and the fierce opposition by residents and local officials in Elafonisos, TAIPED announced the island beaches will not be for sale “now” but on a later point.
As the new draft bill for the ‘regulation of seashores’ foresees that the sold beaches must allow a small space for the public to use for free, it is really hilarious to see the plot of Sarakino beach for sale: it is marked with red ink. A tiny strip of beach is foreseen for free access for the public. The free beach is so small that it will allow swimmers to enjoy sun bathing most probably standing on their feet.
