The relevant economy and development ministry on Thursday said it has approved two “strategic” tourism investment plans, one for a new resort in the town of Karystos, which lies on the southern-most tip of large Evia island, as well as holiday home, marina and hotel resort at the well-known Elounda bay on Crete.
In total, both projects reach 600 million euros in proposed investments, with the government referring to the creation of 600 new and permanent jobs.
A relevant press release by the economy ministry, which also includes the all-important tourism portfolio, said investors have committed to providing pre-determined and measurable offset benefits to the local municipality in which they will be built.
The consortium behind the first investment was listed as RSR Eagle Resort Evoia Mepe, while the Crete project lists a company called Mirum Hellas as the investment vehicle.
