The realization that this plan would demand the felling of a considerable number of trees, as well as spurring an increase in noise pollution, predictably aroused the opposition of the local population, who requested a different solution: a covered road.
At length police arrived and managed to force the demonstrators off the site; eventually the construction of the two highways began, and was completed in 2001.
The Lycée Franco-Hellénique Eugène Delacroix (LFH), a French international school, is in the town and The American College of Greece.
