In particular, the intervention will take place on the municipal beach of Ierissos (camping), on the beach "Alykes" (camping) of Ammouliani, on the municipal Plaz of New Roses (Sarakina) and on the beach "kaboudi" of Ouranoupolis.
In each of the above locations, mobile corridors and permanent provisions for autonomous access of people with mobility problems (in Ierissos and Nea Roda) to the sea, guidance provisions for visually impaired people (in Ammouliani and Ouranoupolis) umbrellas and mobile panels for the creation of shading areas, information signs, sanitary areas and changing rooms for wheelchair users, special waste bins will be installed. Please note that the original proposal included only semi-autonomous disabled access systems on the 4 beaches of the municipality. At the suggestion of the managing authority, the physical and economic object of the operation was modified and the installation of autonomous access systems was considered on two beaches.
