Alkrotiri - Chania Prefecture - Crete #1

Requisition of 28 acres in the Akrotiri 
for the construction of the new fuel pipeline


The Ministry of Defense has decided to commandeer five buildings, a total area of 28 acres at the Akrotiri area, to serve the project of the new kerosene pipeline.  The area is extending from Marathi to the Gulf of Souda and this new pipeline will cover the needs of American Base and the 115th Combat Wing. 

This project is intended to replace the older one, built in the 60' under the boundaries of Sternes village which is up to date serving the same purpose.

Does that mean that we have to avoid the beautiful area of Akrotiri (Sternes and Marathi included) where lots of nice properties are currently available in the market in attractive prices?

I wish someone who understands better the local issue could give me a clearer view.
