On Friday evening, 3 October 2025, in Corfu, Deputy Mayor A. Kardonas filed a formal request for full records on who owns the NAOK buildings along the city’s waterfront and what permits have been issued over the years. In plain terms: the city wants the legal footing of these facilities and their use spelled out.
What does this request mean for the city?
It’s a push for transparency around coastal facilities that everyone sees and many use. Clear answers on who owns what – and which permits actually apply – can shape access to waterfront areas, safety checks, upkeep duties, and future plans for public space and local sports by the shore.
Who is involved in the process?
The filing shows the request went out to several services to line up a coordinated reply. It was sent to:
- The Public Property Service (Ktimatiki Ypiresia)
- The Directorate of Local Economy
- The Directorate of Public Service
These offices are expected to share any documents they hold or confirm the current status of ownership and permits tied to the NAOK complex on the waterfront.
How did local authorities respond?
At the time of writing, the request is filed and distributed, and replies from the services are still pending. No public deadline was given. The Deputy Mayor had said this step was coming earlier; this filing makes it official.
What changed since earlier statements?
After earlier public remarks, the issue moved from talk to action with a written request. By sending it to several responsible services, the city increases the chances that a single, clear record of permits and ownership will surface.
What are the possible consequences for Corfu?
What might follow depends on what turns up. The city could get clearer duty lines for building care, confirmation or fixes to existing permits, and, if needed, steps to bring use in line with the law. For residents and local groups, that means more certainty about access, safety standards, and any upcoming works on the waterfront.
Where to find more information?
The summary available at press time did not include specific documents or deadlines, and these will need checking once replies arrive. Residents can watch official municipal channels for updates. What the services release next will set the next steps and timelines.
