Latest obstacle for massive Helleniko project: State service designates portion of land as 'forest'The latest "banana peel" thrown by a Greek state agency in front of a landmark privatization project came on Friday after a relevant forestry service designated a portion of the land at the disused and concrete-laden Athens airport as "forestland".The Helleniko privatization is included among the "prior actions" in bailout memorandums signed with institutional creditors and as a "barometer" in the current leftist-rightist coalition government's volition to facilitate growth-generating investments. The tract of land would ostensibly comprise one of the biggest and most expensive property development projects in Europe.Specifically, the administrative decision designates roughly 3.6 hectares of land within the 620.5-hectare expanse as entailing "forest characteristics". The decision was signed by the forestry service director or Piraeus, which has jurisdiction over site in coastal southeastern Athens.
Britain could see the hottest day of the year so far next week as temperatures are set to reach higher than in Kefalonia.Temperatures could reach up to 27C in the south east on Tuesday or Wednesday, the Met Office confirmed.This would beat beat April 9’s 25.5C in Cambridge to become the hottest day of the year until now, and would be hotter than Kefalonia - an island in the Ionian Sea, west of mainland Greece.
