Kalogría: The Public Sector does not erase the old coastal zone – New development in the case
The Greek government has decided to maintain the public status of an area in Kalogría, rejecting calls to delist it from public properties.
In Kalogría, a picturesque beach area marked by sand dunes and pine trees, a new decision has emerged regarding the status of public land. The General Secretary of the Decentralized Administration of Peloponnese, Western Greece, and Ionian Islands, Dimitris Katsaros, has officially determined that a section of the old coastline, designated as property number ABK 32 in the municipality of Western Achaea, will not be removed from the public property records.
This decision marks a significant development in the ongoing discussion about land ownership and public versus private rights along the coast of Greece. The history of this area is complicated, with numerous administrative acts and titles reflecting decades of land management and disputes. The preservation of the public character of this land is crucial for maintaining access and environmental protections for the local community and visitors alike.
By rejecting the proposal to privatize this coastal section, the government is signaling a commitment to public land management and possibly foreshadowing further discussions about land use policies in coastal areas. This move could impact local tourism, ecological conservation efforts, and the balance of private interests with public welfare in Greece's coastal regions.
