South Aegean regional governor Giorgos Hatzimarkos visited Leros with Dodecanese deputy governor Christos Efstratiou during a meeting of the monitoring committee for the region's 2021 to 2027 operational programme.

Working meetings were held at the Municipality of Leros with mayor Timotheos Kottakis and his team. Discussions covered projects under construction as well as schemes at the design or tender stage.

The regional governor visited major projects across the island, including work at Lakki port, which was expected to be delivered at the end of the month, and the shelter at Alinda, which was approaching completion.

He also inspected construction of the residual waste disposal facility and the restoration of the historic Leros Hotel, a project being carried out by the culture ministry.

The visit focused on cooperation between the South Aegean Region and the Municipality of Leros in advancing infrastructure intended to improve everyday life and support the island's development.

Officials said coordinated work between regional and municipal government was already visible at active construction sites.

Two major regional road projects were expected to follow, while a third road scheme led by the Municipality of Leros was already under way.

The reconstruction of the Leros indoor sports hall was also discussed. The required regional funding agreement had been signed, allowing the municipality to proceed with the project.

Discussions additionally covered a network project the municipality expected to begin immediately and a prepared water-supply scheme awaiting the necessary funding from the environment ministry.
