The Port of Edipsos was the first stop of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during his visit to northern Evia, to monitor and implement the major reconstruction program of the area affected by last summer’s fires.
The Prime Minister was informed by the Harbor Master, Lieutenant Commander Sotiris Danikas, and the CEO of the Evia Ports Organization, Charalambos Maniatis, about the transfer of the commercial port to a nearby location and the plan for the development of the coastal front, with the aim of the coastal border.
“You are really an example to imitate great government officials. So I want to thank you for what you did. Remember how extreme the conditions were. And of course our first obligation is always the protection of human life. After the property. Unfortunately, we did not manage to protect the natural environment here in Evia as we would have liked, but the degree of interest of the state and the coordinated state intervention that is being launched for northern Evia, in my opinion, is unprecedented. It is really an opportunity to reborn the place and to build the future of northern Evia on much better foundations than in the past. So thank you very much “, noted Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The plan for Edipsos envisages the transfer of the commercial – ferry port further north and the conversion of the existing one into a purely tourist and fishing one. At the same time, a tourist upgrade program is launched in all 10 ports of northern Evia. The opening of the coastal front in the city of Edipsos and important interventions in the infrastructure are also foreseen.
Present at the meeting were the Deputy Minister of Rural Development and Food and MP of Evia of New Democracy, Simos Kedikoglou, and the MPs of Evia of ND Thanassis Zempilis and Spyros Pneumatikos.
