TATOI FIRES

                                                  

 

The Greek Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni presented a series of restoration actions, planned to restore the damage caused by last week’s forest fires to the 4.000 hectares royal estate at Tatoi, as well as an assessment of the destructions.

 

Speaking to the press, Mr Mendoni referred to the “significant ecological damage,” adding the fires also destroyed the roof and wooden frames of seven buildings “which were in any case being restored under the ministry program.”

 

The Minster announced that the studies for the restoration of several buildings have begun and will be completed by the end on the year.  She added that all of the buildings will be equipped with fire detection and protection technology and the funding has been secured through the EU’s National Strategic Reference Framework program 2021-2027.

 

“We were faced with an unprecedented situation in relation to the monuments, cultural heritage and not only,” Mendoni said of the fire that burnt at Tatoi,         for more than four days.

 

“We lost a significant part of the forest area, which is not easy to accept,” the Minister concluded.
