The Greek Parliament will repair two houses in Kastellorizo, a small island in Greece, to provide housing for doctors and teachers.
Residents of the Greek diaspora donated the properties to the municipality of Kastellorizo. Nikitas Kaklamanis announced the project, stating the Parliament will fully fund the 150,000 euro repair costs after discussions with mayor Nikos Asvestis. One of the homes will accommodate medical staff, while the other will house educators.
This initiative comes ahead of a planned visit by the President of the Parliament to Megisti, another name for Kastellorizo, to commemorate the 83rd anniversary of its liberation. Kastellorizo holds historical significance as the first Greek territory liberated after World War II. In 1945, sailors from the destroyer “Kountouriotis” raised the Greek flag there alongside local residents. The repairs aim to address housing needs for essential workers on the island, ensuring continued service to the community.
