It sounds good, but surely if large events are to be held there in an area which has little or no 'facilities' it will involve construction of an arena in which to hold such events or concerts, seating, electrical and sanitary facilities , car parks etc. How does this fit in with its Natura protection? What about the rare birds which live there?
Many years ago there were applications to build a theme park at Aphrodites Rock, which then met with a public outcry against that. Is this another route to try to establish something like this?

So, are they going to finish off the roadworks and reopen the road?
