Papa used to be my favorite beach in Ios, but unfortunately, it has lost its charm and beauty.

Once a pristine and untamed shoreline, this beach has unfortunately fallen victim to the construction of a gaudy and artificial resort, resulting in the closure of its once-free entrance.

I was thrilled to explore the beach, but to my dismay, it has now been transformed into a private property. The vast expanse of the resort complex has taken over the once pristine shoreline, and the only access points are now barricaded with sturdy reed doors. I am uncertain if it is possible to reach the beach by boat, as the waters seem to be heavily guarded.

The island's beach was once a stunning sight, but now it has been ruined by the construction of a resort. The owners of the resort have even attempted to prevent public access to the beach, making it seem as though they are corrupt. It's truly a shame to see yet another example of the decline of our society under late capitalism.

It is truly disappointing to witness the lack of respect and appreciation for the natural beauty of this beach. The Greek government should take action to safeguard this stunning coastline from owners who lack taste and civility.
