Cyclades

A conflict has arisen on the Aegean island of Serifos between the municipal authority and a private owner over the preservation of the island's 19th-century mining sites. 

Santorini has topped the list of Cycladic islands in terms of revenue from accommodation and catering, bringing in a total of almost 376 million euros in the busiest tourist months of July, August and September, a study has found.

Two atmospheric disturbances will affect our country in the coming days, causing rain, storms, very strong southerly winds, and snow in the mountains, according to the Director of the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY), Thodoris Kolyda.

We talk on the phone almost every day. "Dad, has it rained at all?" "No, my child, nothing, not a drop has fallen, even though the meteorologists on the news keep saying rain is on the way." For months now, the same conversation, on repeat. I've forgotten the last time I got a positive answer.

A shift in the weather is on the way! Over the next few days, we can finally say goodbye to the ongoing drought, as rain is forecasted to grace our lands for five days, from November 8th to 13th, according to meteorologist Sakis Arnaoutoglou.

The painting Grandmother’s Fairy Tale by the renowned Greek painter Nikolaos Gyzis was donated to the Panhellenic Holy Foundation of Evangelistria of Tinos. This donation was a wish of the late benefactor Dimitrios Karagounis, fulfilled by his widow, Eleni Karagouni.

It is fitting for a museum named after the Cyclades to care for the protection of both the natural and cultural heritage, as well as for the present and future identity of the islands through a new initiative titled Cycladic Identity.

A fire broke out Tuesday on Serifos, near Vagia beach on the Cycladic island's southern coast, burning through low vegetation.

Emergency crews, assisted by a water-dropping aircraft, worked to contain the blaze, with additional reinforcements expected to arrive from Paros by boat.

The weather during the October 28th long weekend will resemble advanced spring, with drought continuing into next week, according to meteorologists’ predictions.

This year’s “St. Demetrius’ summer” will be present again, with good weather and sunshine throughout the country, according to Klearchos Marousakis.

Eleven people were rescued from a sailboat taking on water approximately 1.6 nautical miles northwest of the Greek island of Paros on Wednesday night, authorities reported.

The sailboat was safely towed to the port of Paros with the assistance of a nearby passenger vessel.
