Stathis Kannis, the Mayor of Pyrgos, fully supports the upcoming transfer of the Katakolo cruise port to a private investor by the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF). He emphasizes the importance of attracting investment for infrastructure upgrades, noting that the local government lacks the necessary funds. Kannis believes that the investment will benefit the local economy and plans to ensure the municipality’s interests are represented in the tender process. He clarifies that the port of Patras does not pose a threat to Katakolo’s cruise tourism outlook.
