Improvements to the national highway from Georgioupolis to Petres

All of us who live in this part of Crete know that the national highway between Georgioupolis and Rethymnon is the site of many accidents each year, often involving pedestrians. I myself personally knew two local people, one killed and one with "life changing injuries" who were injured whilst crossing the road from Mathes to Georgioupolis at the junction. (and think of all the tourists catching buses)


It has been announced that next year (2018) the development for upgrading the road network and safer pedestrian movement on the national highway from Georgioupolis to the border with Rethymnon is expected to take place.
 5 bridges and 4 subways are due to be constructed and three interchanges. The project, with a budget of EUR 11.5 million is part of the budget for road safety of the region of Crete (not from the local council's budget) and aims to reduce road accidents occurring in the region.

The council continues to choose its officers and the committees have been chosen for finance and also what is called the "Quality of life committee" which deals with planning, environmental issues, licenses, parks and cemeteries amongst other things. I think they will be kept pretty busy! Last night I was at a wedding - more of that tomorrow and tonight I am off to a play being produced in Vamos. "And ever More Shall Be So" By Norman Robbins. I see once again that television is re running the series " A Place In Greece" which featured Brian Saunders and Andrew Stewart Sutton along with their friends Les and Pete and their adventures buying a property here in Crete and their life here in Apokoronas. Love them or hate them it was good entertainment as long as it was not taken too seriously. What happened after the series ended? They are now back in the UK.

The Old Bakery at Georgioupolis ( and more work in the square!)

Image
The best bread in Crete, in my opinion, is that from the old wood fired bakery in Georgioupolis. I happened to call by as they were firing up for a fresh batch of bread I bought a hot loaf just out of the oven. The Georgioupolis bread is famous all over Greece and is taken to Athens. It has very good keeping qualities. Greek people from all over the island come to get bread here and is is expected for locals to take a few loaves if they are visiting other areas. Some paximadi too ( twice baked hard rusk) Andonis mopping out the hot oven with a damp cloth. Work continues in the square Paving is beginning to be laid There are ramps for access on each side of the square Meanwhile, down on the seafront…..
