The First tourists are here. What will they find in Georgioupolis?

The first tourists have arrived in Georgioupolis. The first hotels opened and some of the bars and tavernas. What will they find?
Well the Plateia is coming on







A traffic island?

The concrete surrounds are being painted white - Sunglasses were needed to protect eyes from the glare!



Work goes on


We have a chinese shop!


Down the road though it is not looking quite so ready!









On the seafront work continues. Difficult to find anywhere to park - and it is not summer yet!



A coach discharges its passengers on the bridge





Still a lot of work to do, only three weeks to Easter! The season is starting early this year.

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.
