Rising temperatures mainly caused by man-made green house gas emissions are increasing the risks of draught and consequently forest fires especially in the Mediterranean regions. As a result large-scale forest fires are fostered, with consequent soil erosion in burnt areas further aggravated by the heavy rains. This summer Greece faced the most devastating fires in the last 150 years, which claimed 64 lives, thousands of hectares or forest and farming land and dozens of houses. A 3 MINUTE SILENCE AT 12 NOON ON WEDNESDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER WILL BE OBSERVED IN MEMORY OF THE FOREST FIRES VICTIMS IN GREECE. VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS ON THE STREETS, PEOPLE AT WORK WILL STAND STILL TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT TO THE AFFECTED AREAS, HOPING THAT THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE PROTECTED AND THE VILLAGES WILL BE REGENERATED.

View from a cliff over Mevagissey harbour and down the rocks. On our last day of our trip we were finally rewarded with amazing sea views, lovely atmosphere of a fishing village and a tasty lunch with crab sandwich and fish & chips Too bad that we run out of baterries so had to use the mobile phone.
