The Acropolis of Rhodes revives:
With the inclusion of the project "Protection and promotion of the ancient Acropolis of Rhodes" in the South Aegean Operational Program 2014-2020, one of the most important archaeological sites of the island is transformed into an organized place, according to modern data.
The project was included in the Program in August 2016 with a budget of 1.6 million euros and is implemented by the Archaeological Service of the Dodecanese.

Recycling Materials Collection Center and new landfill in South Rhodes
Rhodes, the largest and most populous island in the region and one of the most important tourist destinations in Europe, is natural to accept great environmental pressures, which require immediate and effective treatment by the central administration and local government, but also brave funding. During the previous programming period, a large-scale effort has begun for the environmental upgrading of the island, including the rehabilitation of three Uncontrolled Waste Disposal Sites (Afandou, Archangelos and Kamiros) and the extension of the Sanitary Landfill Site covering the northern part of Rhodes. At the same time, two more important projects were launched: the construction of the Recyclable Materials Collection Center (KDΑΥ) and the new landfill in South Rhodes, recently completed and put into operation.
