“This particular gratuitous and unacceptable tactic of causing damage to well-kept, tasteful common areas, which we all enjoy, locals and visitors, on the one hand, is offensive to the aesthetics of our city and, on the other hand, is an intentional economic cost due to the waste of water, man-hours required to restore the plants, lawns, irrigation materials, etc., is mentioned by the municipal authority and therefore the Municipality of Rethymno asks everyone to respect the natural and urban environment, the common areas that were built and maintained with effort and cost and calls on them: “… to defend our common right to enjoy cleanliness and beauty in public space, where we socialize in our free time, rest and entertain ourselves with our families and friends, without requiring a 24-hour presence of the municipal service to protect these spaces from vandals”.
