The ferry connection of Kythera continues to plague residents and visitors alike, with the Neapolis - Kythera ferry service running at a trickle, while the island's connection with Piraeus remains in an uncertain state. This situation, which has caused outrage in the local community, is worsened by the lack of clear planning and stable service, leaving Kythirians and travellers on hold with no alternative options. As of this afternoon, no timetables have been announced for after 28 February.
The problem of the ferry blockade of Kythera is not new, but has been going on for months, creating serious problems both in the daily life of the residents and in the tourist development of the island. The fact that the situation remains uncertain for Piraeus, with irregular and limited services, has intensified the discontent.
The Mayor's announcement of a lawsuit - Did it happen?;
The Mayor of Kythera, Mr. Efstratios Harhalakis, had stated months ago that he would file a lawsuit against all those responsible for the ferry blockade of Kythera, pledging to claim the island's right to reliable and regular transport. However, to date there has been no update on whether this legal initiative has gone ahead or whether it remains merely an announcement.
Meanwhile, the residents of Kythera continue to face problems in their travel, while visitors are unable to plan their trip safely.
Will there be a solution or will indifference continue?;
The issue of Kythera's ferry connection requires an immediate and permanent solution, with stable and scheduled routes that will serve the needs of the island and its residents. The state must intervene immediately, safeguarding the right of Kytherians to use the ferry instead of allowing the situation to perpetuate, degrading the quality of life of the residents and damaging the local economy.
