Manolis Koutoulakis

Manolis Koutoulakis is the General Secretary of the Aegean and Island Policy in Greece. He has recently been in the news for his efforts to preserve the traditional "syrmata" structures on the island of Milos, which are unique architectural features that serve as boat storage units during winter. Koutoulakis announced a plan to classify a group of these buildings as protected heritage sites to prevent their alteration into modern accommodations that threaten their historical integrity.
