The first ferry link between Cyprus and Greece – specifically, from Limassol to Piraeus – is to be up and running on June 19, it was announced on Friday, with the trip lasting about 30 hours.
“After 21 years, our fellow citizens will be able to travel to Greece and Europe by sea, transporting their private vehicles as well,” President Nicos Anastasiades said.
He praised the development as fulfilling the goal of achieving alternative connectivity, adding that it will also enhance Cyprus’ maritime tourism.
