Your Excellency,
The World Archaeological Congress would like to express its strong opposition to the
development proposed by the British company Minoan Group in the archaeologically rich,
arid, windswept, uninhabited north-east corner of Crete, called Cavo Sidero. This letter is
to draw your attention to the archaeological richness of this area, and to the threat posed to
this area by the proposed development.
