Loutsa has schools, a lyceum, a gymnasium, banks, churches, a post office, beaches and squares (plateies)and 480 km of roads. The serious problem of Artemida is the tremendous increase of population, especially in the period 2001-2005. In this period the population almost doubled, and now Artemis has about 35,000 inhabitants. Also there are many thousands of people who are "part time" during the periods of Easter, Christmas and of course the summer. Another sign of increased population is that there are now 2,500 students at all levels of education. Plateia (Ï€Î»Î±Ï„ÎµÎ¯Î±) is the Greek word for town square. ...
