Golf courses are not suited to a dry Mediterranean climate. This part of Greece is subject to severe droughts and these are set to get worse. The huge amounts of water needed to keep the courses green would otherwise feed into the Gialova lagoon, which is an important habitat for wildlife. I visited the lagoon this Spring and I have never seen the water level so low and this despite a relatively wet Winter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-74019398044864148752009-09-27T18:16:19.209-04:002009-09-27T18:16:19.209-04:00Why can't they build a course on Mykonos?

The golf will surely help. ;)jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579437837715863327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-63668518584162972432009-09-27T16:32:12.172-04:002009-09-27T16:32:12.172-04:00I have mixed emotions about this development.

When I visited there almost three years ago on an archeological tour I was very impressed by how simple and natural it was. <br /><br />I'm glad to hear they have a focus on preservation and I hope they can find a way to happily reconcile the luxury lifestyle of the resort with the simple lifestyle of the surrounding towns and villages. If they can, it'll be fantastic, and a destination no to be missed.thegolfsharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12134394081965354826noreply@blogger.com
