Greece transport

Piraeus Port handles approximately 20 million passengers a year making it one of the busiest ports in Europe.

Nine regional airports across Greece will not be handling flights due to scheduled runway reconstruction works.

Last year, the Daleela Cyprus - Greece ferry service transported over 7,400 passengers and more than 2,400 vehicles from May to September.

Ferry fares in Greece are among the costliest in Europe, increasing by as much as 60% compared to ticket prices in 2019.

Runway activity will be suspended at Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Corfu, Mykonos, Santorini, Samos, Rhodes, Lesvos, and Kavala airports in the coming months.

Founded in 1884, the Peloponnese line is Europe’s longest meter-gauge railway network. Services stopped in 2011 as a result of Greece’s debt crisis.

Road transport necessitates more decisive actions towards mass transit and active mobility (pedestrians, bicycles), particularly in urban centers and popular tourist spots.

The agenda will focus on crucial matters such as optimizing the allocation of railway capacity across the EU, aiming to improve efficiency in cost, travel time, and environmental impact.

Transport Minister Christos Staikouras noted that the long term goal is to replace at least 1,300 outdated buses with new, low-emission vehicles by 2027

Marking its 25th anniversary, Greece’s AEGEAN Airlines sets higher goals after breaking all records.

Once completed, the Fyli business park will serve as a national transport hub, creating jobs and revenues for Western Attica.
