During a meeting with Greek Ambassador to Cyprus Ioannis Papameletiou on June 14, Deputy Minister for Shipping Maria Hadjimanolis announced that bookings for the Cyprus-Greece maritime connection have surpassed 10,000 since the line began operating. Hadjimanolis expressed her satisfaction with the high level of interest in the reinstated maritime connection, which received state subsidies after being dormant for over twenty years.
According to a press release from the Deputy Ministry for Shipping, Hadjimanolis informed the Greek diplomat that starting this year, the connection will also include trips from the port of Larnaca. This expansion aims to meet the growing demand and better serve the public.
Hadjimanolis took the opportunity to express her gratitude to Papameletiou and all Greek state services, including the Piraeus Port Organisation, for their significant contributions to the project.
Furthermore, Hadjimanolis informed Papameletiou that she plans to extend an invitation to the new Greek Shipping Minister after the elections at the end of June. The invitation is for the Greek Shipping Minister to attend the 2023 Maritime Cyprus Conference, scheduled to take place from October 8 to October 11, 2023.
