Among Greece’s most idyllic images are old mountain villages but some are so in danger of being hit with landslides that they should be moved instead of trying to save them with anti-erosion techniques, a Greek geologist said.
Efthymis Lekkas, Professor of Dynamic Tectonic Applied Geology at Athens University and head of the Organization of Earthquake Planning and Protection made the recommendation, said Kathimerini.
The idea came after a team of professors and researchers from the university’s Geology Department completed a survey of the areas facing the greatest risk after the damage caused by Cyclone Ianos in September 2020.
