The Mayor of Sotira, George Takkas said during his greeting that the Municipality of Sotira proved to be an example of good administration and tidy governance, with a small and flexible model of municipal authority, which aims to increase its revenues and reduce its reckless waste. In this way, the concern of the Municipality, as he said, from the beginning was the utilization of the natural beauties and the coastal front in order to achieve consolidation in the finances and increase of the incomes for the promotion of new projects.
