Garitsa isn΄t the problem - it΄s a symptom
The controversy surrounding the moorings and the effort to preserve Garitsa Bay as an “open marina” is about more than a cherished waterfront. It raises broader concerns about how much development Corfu can sustain, the growing commercialisation of public space, and whether local people will remain connected to the sea that has long defined who they are.
