The Greek media is reporting that the Hellenic Gaming Commission is now preparing the tender for a new casino license in Gournes, Heraklion.
Tornos stated: “The project will be developed independently of the broader redevelopment plan for the former US military base, undertaken by Dimand, and is expected to attract significant international interest.”
It is believed that the tender process will take six months, with the hope of the Gournes casino opening its doors to local and international visitors by the next tourist season.
The development area has an advantageous extended seashore frontage of 320m towards the Aegean Sea, including a leisure marina.
