Attack on archaeologist on Greece’s party island is thought to be linked to developers’ ‘out-of-control’ clamour to exploit the island
Under the cover of darkness in an Athens side street earlier this month, Manolis Psarros, an archaeologist, was attacked as he walked towards his car. It was 8.30pm, later than usual for the state employee to return home from his office in a neoclassical culture ministry building beneath the Acropolis.
As police intensify their investigation, the focus of inquiry has fallen firmly on Europe’s famous party island, where a building frenzy has put the archaeological service, entrusted with protecting Mykonos’s rich cultural heritage, on a war footing. For the past decade Psarros has headed the division that issues construction permits on the island.
“There is no such thing as an island where some people think they are above the law,” said Mitsotakis. “This is a situation that will be faced decisively.”
