Villas on the Brink: Risk of Falling... into the Sea? - Coastal Collapse Imminent

Severe erosion in Keratidi Bay in Pegoia is now threatening public infrastructure and luxury residential developments. According to studies, the coastline is receding dangerously, with an erosion rate of about 1 meter per year in recent years. The situation is critical, as the public coastal promenade and green space are at risk of collapse. The owners of the Coral Seas development are proposing immediate protection measures, worth €300,000, including the construction of an underground wall and the placement of boulders to absorb wave energy. Failure to take measures poses serious risks to the safety of visitors and buildings.
