The Shipping Deputy Ministry announces that the Council of Ministers has today, 23 August 2024, approved the extension of the Contract for the Passenger Maritime Link between Cyprus and Greece for a further 3 years (2025, 2026, 2027), after evaluating the performance indicators, based on the number of passengers carried from 2022 until today.
The Cyprus – Greece Passenger Maritime Link was embraced from the first year by the public with great success, exceeding all expectations, creating a new tourist market for travellers wishing to travel to and from Cyprus and the rest of continental Europe with their private cars and motorcycles.
The Shipping Deputy Ministry has from the very beginning attached particular importance to the smooth operation of the Cyprus-Greece passenger maritime link, which provides an alternative means of transport for passengers and their accompanying vehicles, serving in particular the needs of those who have difficulties in travelling by air, either for medical reasons or due to their age or aerophobia.
Since the first sailing in June 2022, more than 21,000 passengers have travelled until now, carrying more than 7,000 cars and 700 pets. These numbers prove that the passenger maritime link is necessary.
