CORFU, Greek State Land For Sale (Kassiopi)

This sale of land near Kassiopi is very upsetting to many Corfiots and environmentalists. I've seen comments such as "Another Barbati in Avlaki?" I don't have any details about the precise location of the state land to be sold.

See earlier posting, about a Bloomberg report

I was surprised that planning permission was ever given in the past for the building of houses and villas beneath the site of the ancient castle of Kassiopi. In the 1960s that would have been inconceivable.

Surely there are a host of other Greek State assets that could be sold which are far less sensitive or controversial?

It's almost as if this proposal is deliberately designed to invite outrage and opposition.

Whatever happened to the Greek National Trust?

Must it all be down to individual citizens of Corfu, to contribute 100 Euros each to try to buy the land for the benefit of future generations? Unfortunately, that would never be enough.
