Digitalparos is excited to announce an upcoming in-depth interview with Costas Bizas, the Mayor of Paros, who will reflect on his first year in office and share insights on progress, challenges, and the future of the island.

During the CPF Islanders' Forum 2024 held in Santorini, we collected brief statements from participants representing various islands and institutions to produce this short video that captures reflections from islanders across the Cyclades.

Paros, once a model of water conservation, now faces a crisis due to tourism's overconsumption, depleting its aquifer. A 16-minute video urges a return to sustainable practices before it's too late.

This short interview with Costas Bizas was conducted on ERT 3 on October 10th. It took place just two days after he was elected as the new Mayor of Paros.

The following text is a collaborative statement from the Friends of Paros & Antiparos association, which outlines the current state of Paros and the challenges it faces.
