Eight ferry trips from Larnaca to Piraeus in August and September

Eight ferry trips in total will run from the port of Larnaca to Piraeus in August and September. The news was announced at a press conference for the official launch of the sea routes from Larnaca.

Addressing the event on behalf of Kition Ocean Holdings, Panos Alexandrou said: "We confirm in practice our commitment to upgrade the services provided to the Cypriot shipping industry, the optimal service and support of the local community, as well as the strengthening of the tourism product of the country and Larnaca."

Mayor of Larnaca Andreas Vyras said that Kition Ocean Port in consultation with the companies operating the line reached an agreement that will help, not just the people of Larnaca but also the whole of Cyprus, while offering an added boost to the island’s tourism and opening the way for more maritime connections with other neighbouring countries.

The President of the Larnaca Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Stavros Stavrou, said the Chamber will support and stand by Kition Ocean Port throughout this venture, while the Director and representative of Scandro Holdings, Elias Soulis, said that there will be eight ferry trips to and from the port of Larnaca in August and September 2023, with exact dates to be announced in the next few days.

Finally, on behalf of the Larnaca Tourism Development and Promotion Company, Victor Mantovani said that this new route will serve residents of other provinces as well since Larnaca is in an advantageous geographical position, while it is expected to contribute to attracting tourists from the Greek market and at the same time boost the passenger traffic of Larnaca port.

In written statement, Kition Ocean Port said that the company has succeeded in securing a number of cruises from the port of Larnaca, thus laying the foundations for its classification as a growing passenger port.
