I think it's called progress Ari.Let's face it, if there was no change in Katelios ( or anywhere else for that matter), it's appeal would die out as those who like it as it is now die off or become too infirm to visit any longer.Thankfully, the change there appears to be slow. The two new hotels were feared by some to be the death knell but they are now fairly well integrated. Same with the move of Nemesis to the front, again not a problem. And again, the harbour development hasn't brought huge numbers of day trippers, just 20- or 30 people twice a week.The Glamping site has slowed and might have been stopped altogether or at least restricted in the long term.
Rog, isn't that the pic that is in your original post?
To paraphrase our Winnie "This is not the end of the beginning but the beginning of the end". For Katelios that is.The first few pebbles of ruination were the sum loungers now we are threatened with an avalanche that will destroy Katelios as it was once known and loved.
What Ari (and a few others among us) dread - piccies not of Greece but Spain, although in the present government's clamour for foreign investment and subsequent relaxation of development controls... who knows when this will happen here?

Some changes are OK, some I even like, but there are others I would rather not have (e.g. changing the open space by the beach with the "glamping" ). I know others have been coming longer to Katelios than our 20 years but we still feel it's close enough to what we found back then. And bear in mind Greece was still far behind the rest of Europe even in 1995 in terms of development - could even end up not much different again. Let's hope we won't be saying about you "this was his finest hour" in 5-10 years time, Ari!! Tony
The new pool is progressing quicker than Skala High street.
Looks like more than just a hole in the ground, Roger. Any idea what else will be there?Tony
impromptu Greek dancing promptly at 10 on Fridays
Of course, it could be far worse but I just can't think how.
