The brake put on by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs comes as a result of the landslides that have been recorded on the island, but also of the burden that the area has suffered in general from arbitrary construction.
In fact, as sources explain to the “Free Press”, “the increase in buildings that have been erected in recent years arbitrarily on a highly vulnerable ground greatly increases the risk of catastrophic consequences in the event of an earthquake. At the same time, the rapid increase in swimming pools greatly burdens the already difficult situation. Indicatively, it is stated that in the Caldera due to the slopes (45-60 degrees) the seismic actions increase up to 170%”.
According to the bill, until the approval of the Special Town Planning Plan for Thira, which is currently being prepared and is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025, the issuance of building permits for both new buildings and extensions of existing buildings will be suspended. and swimming pools in the area.
At the same time, through the draft law, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides for the entrepreneurs of all existing tourist infrastructure (hotels and other tourist accommodation) and shops of health interest (restaurants, cafes, bars, etc.) in Caldera, the obligation to prepare a static adequacy study within two years of its adoption.
“The concerned Building Service shall, until December 31, 2024, check all building permits that have been issued in the last five years from the entry into force of this” is characteristically pointed out in article 77 of the bill.
