On Palm Sunday, April 8th, members and friends of Kythiraiki Protovoulia (“Kytherian Initiative”), the political association bent on reforming local government on Kythera, cleared up a winter’s worth of rubbish from Fyri Ammos beach. The refuse, consisting largely of wave-born plastic bottles and containers, was gathered up and carried away for recycling. Fyri Ammos on the east coast, one of the island’s longest and most attractive beaches, is still pristine and unspoiled. Kythiraiki Protovoulia, which has announced that it will if necessary have recourse to legal measures to halt any further illegal development of Kythera’s beaches, is making sure it remains that way.
