The ‘green light»They got unanimously last night from the Central Archaeological Council (KAS) The definitive studies (architecture, static-inquiry and geotechnical) concerning the project “Supply and Installation of Publishing Persons for the Castle her Monemvasia“

According to the architectural study, there will be two stations, Ano and Kato, and only one pillar that will be placed behind the upper city wall, near the arrival station. The lower station is located at a point approximately 150 meters from the Castlemian entrance gate, from which, according to scholars, it will not be visible, and its location will be such that the task is limited and integration into the environment smoothly. The arrival station (upper) will also be harmoniously integrated from the entrance station about 120 m and will not be visible from land. As the scholars pointed out, the whole project will only be visible from the sea, while the only visible elements will be the pillar and the cabins that will be hovering.

The air lift will have two cabins, which will fit 15 people each (10 seated and 5 five upright) or two disabled carriages with their attendants or an ambulance stretcher. The cabins will be used by people with disabilities and generally obstructed individuals, as well as for emergencies or for transportation of materials. The distance of 120 m will cover the lift in less than a minute. The project has an implementation time horizon by the end of 2025.
