Mayor Dimos Verdos, of the Municipality of Evrotas, to which Geraki belongs, mentioned that Geraki is an agricultural community primarily sustained by income from olive trees, olive oil, and other citrus fruits. Despite the agricultural focus, there is growing concern about the impact of climate change on the region. Mayor Verdos mentioned that it is imperative to conduct studies aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change, addressing the apprehensions surrounding its potential impact on production, employment, and the way of life in the villages.
