€273 million investment for a mega marina in the Greek island of Corfu

An ambitious investment project, amounting to €273 million, to create a marina with a capacity of 105 berths for mega yachts (up to 80 meters) in southern Corfu has been underway for the last few months, New Money reported, greekcitytimes.com reports.
The project, "New Marina for Large Yachts in Petritis Bay - Kalyviotis - Alykes of South Corfu", with a proposed location in the area of Kalyviotis in southern Corfu, has received the "green light" from the competent Commission for Tourist Ports of the Ministry of Tourism and the six competent ministries.
The environmental impact study has been accepted by the Ministry of Environment, which is already in a public consultation in Corfu. On Monday, a presentation of the project will take place at the Municipality of South Corfu.
As pointed out in the study, it is an original and innovative project that consists of the creation of a high-quality marina in the form of a horseshoe-shaped island, located at relatively large natural bottom depths (from approximately -6 to -16 m).
The construction is connected to the beach with a specially designed bridge that will be about 300 meters from the shore, as the aim is to minimize interventions on the natural coast, maintaining the existing uses and activities in the coastal zone and the communal nature of the beach.
To serve the users and the public in the marina, it is planned to build shops, outdoor recreation, event spaces, cabins, conference and concert spaces, etc. The total area of the proposed marine zone amounts to 370 square km.
At the same time, the complete reformation of Kalyvioti beach along its entire length up to Alykes is planned, with a series of remunerative improvement interventions and projects in adjacent quays to promote the local economy.
It should be noted that the location of the marina does not fall within the boundaries of protected areas (Natura 2000, archaeological site, historical site, or traditional settlement).
