About Samothráki

Kamariotissa ist die Hafenstadt der griechischen Insel Samothraki und liegt in westlicher Richtung in einer Bucht unweit vom Akrotiri Makrivrachos, einer schmalen Landzunge, die etwa 500 Meter ins Meer ragt. Hier wurde Mitte der 90er eine Windkraftanlage zur Erzeugung von Elektrizität errichtet, die heute von PPC Renewables S.A. einem Tochterunternehmen des staatlichen Energieversorgers DEI (ΔΕΗ) betrieben wird. Diese wurde jedoch vor wenigen Jahren demontiert und verkauft. Im Gespräch sind nun die Errichtung eines neuen Windparks auf der Südseite der Insel.
