She said the Ministry has made strengthening Greece's position in yachting a strategic priority, as part of broader policies for sustainable tourism development. She also referred to legislative adjustments that facilitated execution procedures for port projects. The Poros project, with a budget of nearly six million euros, was funded through the Recovery and Resilience Facility and includes new floating piers, additional mooring positions, port works, buildings, modern equipment, as well as electromobility and renewable energy infrastructure. Accessibility improvements for people with disabilities are also included.

The ceremony was also attended by Deputy Minister Konstantinos Katsafados, MP Nikolaos Vlachakos, Poros Mayor Georgios Koutouzis, and the President of the Poros Port Fund, Konstantinos Moutzouvis.
