Zakynthos:- Boat owners collected the garbage from the Shipwreck. The municipality claims that it is not its job!

A publication in which the famous “Shipwreck” of Zakynthos is presented full of garbage from visitors, was the reason to start a “ball” of blame according to our local news paper imerazante.

According to the publication last Saturday afternoon, the consortium of boats “Porto Vromi – Maries” decided to clean the beach…

At the same time, the municipal authority stated that “there is a competent Committee that is responsible for the organization and cleaning of the beach on a daily basis…” stressing that “we do not have any responsibility and authority regarding this part anymore”.

For his part, the president of the Municipal Council of Zakynthos, Stavros Kakolyris said that at the Navagio there are security guards every day, who guard the place, so the president of the Commission should have already been informed about the situation regarding the garbage.

 

“Responsibility of the Ministry of Tourism” garbage in Navagio says the municipality

“For the Shipwreck there is a Committee, which the Ministry of Tourism has appointed for its proper and smooth operation. We don’t have any responsibility or authority regarding this part any more,” says the mayor of Zakynthos, Nikitas Aretakis, in his statements to GR Times. “Essentially, we have no jurisdiction to intervene in anything about the Zakynthos Shipwreck,” he adds.

For his part, the president of the Municipal Council of Zakynthos, Stavros Kakolyris, told GRTimes.gr that at the Navagio there are security guards every day, who guard the place, so the president of the Commission should have already been informed about the situation with the trash. “We as a municipality have no right to intervene in anything. There is a competent Committee responsible for the organization and cleaning of the beach on a daily basis. The president of the Commission, Panagiota Dionysopoulou, has placed a security guard at the site, so the Ministry of Tourism should have already been informed about the problem with the garbage at the Shipwreck. However, last year there were no such incidents, because the garbage was picked up by the boats that came. And this, because one can only visit it by sea”, he noted
