For the first time ever, according to the website Skiathoslife.gr, the three municipal councils of Skopelos, Alonissos and Skiathos will hold a joint session on the 13th of February on Skiathos.
The agenda of subjects that will be discussed is not ready yet but subjects like tourism and environement will be, for sure, part of the discussion.
Representatives from the region Magnesia and the north Sporades will be present too.

I have said it before but I feel that those that are in charge on the Sporades at the moment are more willing to cooperate than ever. Don’t forget that there are many issues that are simular on the three islands: tourism, transport, environment, civil protection etc. There is also a tendency within the municipalities to dig deaper into matters in order to reach an overall agreement within the town council. Many trips to Greek ministries are being made by council members and the mayor to find out if money can become available for repairs of harbors, stadium, gym hall, roads or even for new builds.

I Hope they discuss the problem with stray dogs and cats!
This is a great start, working together for the greater good of these beautiful islands. Please, as a family that has roots in Skopelos, still owns a home, and travels frequently to Skopelos make the environment a priority, including keeping all areas clean and recycling for the survival of the islands and the sea. This sound like it would be relatively easy and not that costly. Most of it is a mind set for the locals and then pass this on to the tourist. Keep the islands clean and more beautiful !! Thank you for all yoiu do.

A good move and looking forward to positive results.
