Efforts to preserve historical fortifications in Greece have emerged in different regions. In Preveza, the Greek Ministry of Culture, the Epirus Region, and the Municipality of Preveza approved a restoration study for Pantokratora Castle. The project aims to address structural decay and marine erosion at the site, which dates back to the era of Ali Pasha.

In Achaia, a Member of Parliament has formally requested Ministry of Culture intervention for the 13th-century Arla Castle. The request highlights the site’s deterioration from vegetation and lack of maintenance, while also noting access issues caused by private fencing. The inquiry seeks an inspection to establish a program for stabilization and potential integration into local tourism.
