Minister of Citizen Protection Michalis Chrysochoidis has announced the reinforcement of the Mykonos Police Sub-Directorate with officers from Attica Security, in order to combat crime on the Cycladic island. 

Three Culture Ministry officials implicated in a wider racket of Athens Municipality and Attica Regional Authority employees who made thousands of euros by granting illegal licenses or providing immunity for zoning and environmental violations, appear to have expanded their activities to the holiday island of Mykonos and been active since last year at least, Kathimerini understands.

Greece is full of summer destinations, promising for unforgettable summer holidays. But a few kilometres outside Monemvasia, there is a small island that is not suitable for this occasion. The special name given to it by its inhabitants, “The Island of the Dead”, gives away the reason for this.

Andros is currently the cheapest island in the Cyclades to buy a house, with Tinos following, considering that the lowest prices start from 2,000 to 2,500 euros per square meter.

On the other hand, we have the prestigious island of Mykonos, where property prices start at 5,500 euros per square metre and can go up to an average of 12,000 euros per square metre.

Supreme Court Prosecutor Georgia Adeilini issued an order on Wednesday for the immediate investigation of cases involving criminal organizations, money laundering, homicides, and other serious offenses linked to mafia networks on Mykonos, other Cycladic islands, as well as in Athens and Thessaloniki.
