“We have advised for a month now that we will be moving to clear the beaches of umbrellas and sunbeds, as we have pointed out that their pile is illegal. It is not possible for some holidaymakers to appropriate the beaches. There may have been a tolerance of this illegality in previous years, but this must end. It is a matter of respect to all, “stressed in his statements the Deputy Mayor of Daily Life, Vassilis Fardogiannis, noting that this operation will be repeated until it is understood that the beaches should be accessible to all citizens.
