The Greek Ministry of Civil Protection declared the popular resort town of Arachova in a “state of emergency” on Wednesday due to water scarcity.
The current state will be in effect for one month, until December 6 that is, after which it will be lifted automatically.
This decision comes after months of very dry weather and minimal rain for the entire municipality of Distomo-Arachova-Antikyra, in an effort to curb the impact of water scarcity on the surrounding villages and prepare for a challenging winter.
