Changes Or Not We'll Have To See

Those three tavernas have thriving businesses and there is nothing else there. Very worrying. We too are planning on coming over again at Easter, bringing friends to show them the places that we love - although realising that they are very different out of season. We shall bring a camera and post some photos.

You make an interesting point - I wonder how things would have developed had this happened a few years ago, when the only access to Agni was by boat? Martyn

Let's just hope that the idiots in power see sense and that it would ruin the tavernas in Ag. Steph if all these demands come to fruition. Never mind the rest of the resorts if they come under the same jurisdiction. What are they playing at? Do they totally want to ruin the tourist trade as this seems to be the ultimate result. 

Sue Avrio. Unfortunately they are not just removing the top of the jetty but also pulling out the posts, not sure what can be done about the concrete bits.
Martyn, you are correct, the Wave Bar jetty is no more.
Anyone visiting San Stephanos now (apparently CV have guests coming out next week) will only be able to eat out in Galini, Nicko is the last man standing so to speak, Costa closed last night.

Why does it seem that only San Stephanos is affected or has been targeted? I can not find any threads on the web relating to the fines or removal of structures for any other village/resort in Corfu or for that matter anywhere else in the EC.

We leave for home tomorrow, the latest update that I have is that Wave Bar has indeed removed their jetty, and has now sold off all their outside furniture, a well as selling their outside cover awning and frame.

I hope this rule applies to the concrete jetties with steps and handrails that these private villa owners have erected for their own personal use and then ask anybody who ties up there to move on because it's private..My greek friend did just that to show me what would happen and when ask to move on he replied "Will you phone the police or shall I" not a word was said by the villa owner..we fished for half an hour then moved on.Bruce 

Now here's a coincidence, on our drive home from Corfu, as many know we stop off in Switzerland and then France where we stop for a couple of days with friends.
This year while in France, we were invited to share an evening with some local people who enjoy Greek traditional dancing,(my passion as some may know). One of the ladies there had just returned from her house somewhere in the south of the Peleponese, she told us about the anger along her nearest coast, where they have been summoned to the local police station to sign for a letter notifying them of their fine for installing illegal jetties and structures on the beaches.
So it would appear not to be exclusive to Corfu.

Damn - there goes my excuse for a vist in April!  Shhhh - don't tell Lynn about the jetty not going

We'll meet up for a meal one evening, I guess you are there for 2 nights, you choose.
