Eleftherios Karaiskos, the mayor of Amorgos, wrote a letter to The Guardian addressing concerns raised in an article about the planned expansion of the Katapola port to accommodate cruise ships. He rejected claims that the project would threaten local residents and tourism, asserting that the expansion aims to improve safety and functionality for local ferries and commercial vessels. Karaiskos criticized the article for misrepresenting the facts and called for truth to be restored regarding the port’s current lack of infrastructure.
