From Vima (Το Βίμα):
Now, the Greek government has approved an ambitious development plan by Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev, who purchased the island from Onassis estate heiress Athina Onassis Roussel, in 2013.
Rybolovlev plans to build 20-22 luxury villas with an area of 500-1200 sq.m. each, a spa, a training centre, and restaurants, all of which he hopes will again make Skorpios a magnet for the rich and powerful.
Of the total 20,000 sq.metres maximum construction space that Rybolovlev is allowed based on building code terms, he is expected to add 1,600 sq.m. to the 4,000sq.m. in constructed spaces already on the island.
The government’s Inter-Ministerial Committee on Strategic Investments, chaired by Economy Minister Dimitris Papadimitriou, yesterday approved a 120 million euro plan for moderate tourist development of the island, with tourism infrastructure and a VIP Club that will attract and host “high-level” guests.
The construction projects will be undertaken by Rybolovlev’s Mykinai S.A. company.
