There has been much happening lately in Makry Gialos. On Thursday everyone's attention was focused on the fires that sprung up unexpectedly, which were fanned by strong winds in the area around Pilamata and Lagada.
The fire crews were quickly on the scene, however, due to inaccessability of some areas,
helicopters with water buckets were called in an attempt to control further spreading of the fires.
Despite all attempts, the fires were difficult to control, resulting in loss of a few greenhouses, olive trees and farm land. All houses were safe, except for a few with minor damage. The fires now seem to be extinguished.
New Hotel Opening
After months of construction work, the new hotel complex, named Mikri Poli (Small Town) has its grand opening today. It has prime location at the top end of Analipsi and has its own private beach and facilities. It is expected to accomodate mainly German, Italian and Austrian tourists.
Festival
Tonight is also the annual music festival at Agios Stephanos. A good turnout is expected, with music from a top Greek musician.
