The upgraded port of Agios Konstantinos port in Fthiotida, Central Greece, is just one bright example of similar developmental projects that will be delivered to the people and their communities in the coming period, said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during the official inauguration ceremony recently.

The port, one of the most important in Central Greece, will for the first time be accessible to small and medium-sized cruise ships, which is expected to give a significant boost to the local economy enabling shore excursions to a number of destinations, including the archaeological site of Delphi.

Works conducted in two phases at Agios Konstantinos port have so far cost 9.8 million euros and are aimed at improving coastal connectivity of the mainland with the Sporades islands.

Speaking during the event, Central Greece Region Governor Fanis Spanos referred to eight more ports and fishing shelters in the region, which are currently undergoing modernization works budgeted at over 50,000,000 euros.

The resort town of Agios Konstantinos is located 165km from Athens. Its port serves as the main gateway to the Sporades and North Aegean islands.
