                          ('Minoan' or 'the Company')
                                        
                                 Appeal Hearing

Appeal Hearing
The Board of Minoan, the AIM-quoted leisure resort developer, announces that 
the Court has today postponed the hearing of the appeal lodged against the Greek
Government's approval of the Company's Environmental Impact Assessment to 
7 November 2008.

National Land Plan
The Board notes that the National Land Plan previously referred to has now been 
formally submitted to the Greek Parliament for approval and is currently going 
through the parliamentary process.

Minoan Chairman, Christopher Egleton commented:

'While the directors are disappointed with this further delay in the hearing of 
the appeal, we are encouraged that the National Land Plan has been submitted as 
expected. The importance of integrated, sustainable tourism developments to 
the Greek economy has been well recorded and, as noted by the Minister of 
Environment, Physical Planning and Public Works, the National Land Plan 
represents 'one of the most essential structural changes' to have taken place in 
Greece over the last decades.  It provides the framework which will allow such 
developments to proceed, while protecting the national and cultural environment.

Cavo Sidero fulfils all the requirements of such a development, being firmly 
based upon the principles of sustainability'.
