Shanty towns explosion in Lesvos

An almost overnight explosion of cardboard dwellings is being seen in the Varia region of Lesvos.

These makeshift dwellings are very becoming very popular with local itinerants who are taking up permanent residence nightly.

The contractor responsible is finding it hard to match supply with demand. He has three options available on the development at the moment:

All plots are south facing and sheltered from the north wind.

The starter home. A compact and bijoux open plan setup which includes fitted oven glove.

Moving up to the larger family home with sun porch, palm tree outlook and a view of the aquarium, again included is the fitted shag pile bath towel.

Finally the luxurious country living option for the more adventurous, featuring cavity wall insulation and plastic portico for warmth & full shelter. This option includes luxurious “Snood” flooring and the added attraction of being nearer the CAT feteria where daily meals are provided.

Some of the local residents of Moggytown as is has become to be known.
