The revelation of the construction of a five-star hotel in Sarakiniko, Milos caused intense reactions and the mobilisation of the competent services, which immediately stop the works in the area and initiates research into who granted the building permit.

The operator reportedly had 7 licenses from the competent services, with the first dating in 2018 and most in 2023. ADVERSE “In order to get a license, he needs to get from some services studies and approvals to come to the Town Planning of Milos. If it has all the approvals it gives ok the Town Planning of Milos that controls licenses,” the mayor of Manolis Mikelis stressed in Mega. “A town planning that is for four islands has a cadet and a town planner. The license is up and the engineer of the company is responsible. Who gave a license to fit and the environment for Saraceniko? Who gave these?”, the mayor added, stressing that only in 10 days had work started on the famous beach. “All permits will be checked. Can EOT get a license for the Saracen? Who’s the one who signed it? Who is the one who is robbing our island without our opinion?”.
