The largest cruise port in Greece, Piraeus is expected to receive 220 million euros. European Union regional development aid program will provide 187 million euros and 33 million euros from Greek government. Reconstruction in port of Piraeus will expand its cruise ship facilities and enable access for larger vessels.

Piraeus Port Authority chief executive Yiorgos Anomeritis said “Becoming a hub for larger cruise ships is expected to benefit all cruise ports in Greece.”

The goal of this expansion is to transform the port into the largest cruise port in the Mediterranean and bring more tourist money in Greek economy.
