The group Save Paros Beaches wants to highlight the fact that local swimmers are being left without any free space on the beach to put down their towels. The group gathered at Santa Maria Beach last week while another protest took place today in Marcelo Beach. The Citizens' Movement of Paros argues that business activities are ruining the island while locals are being left with limited space to enjoy the beach.
It said in a statement: "We claim our right to public space, our right to enjoy our beaches that are encroached upon by greedy, socially irresponsible businessmen who occupy beaches in their entirety or exceed their limits by up to 100 times the area they legally lease."
