Pelitidi coastline erosion project budget adjusted to 5.14 million euros

The Peloponnese Region has modified the project designed to combat coastal erosion at Pelitidi beach in Messinia, Greece. Following the signing of the main contracting agreement, the co-financed public expenditure has been reduced by 502,678.58 euros, bringing the total project budget to 5,142,991.42 euros.

The project is part of the “Peloponnese 2021-2027” operational program and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. The updated implementation schedule sets a new completion deadline of September 25, 2028.

Construction efforts will target three specific areas to limit erosion and stabilize beach materials:

1. Eros Beach: Construction of a 104-meter jetty and artificial beach replenishment. 2. Pelitidi Settlement: Installation of six detached breakwaters totaling approximately 440 meters and a 45-meter jetty. 3. Camping Area: Installation of a 131-meter breakwater and beach replenishment.

In addition to the primary construction, the project includes two archaeological sub-projects involving excavations and monitoring in both terrestrial and marine zones.
