Piraeus Port Launches New Sea Cruise Terminal

The Piraeus Port Organization formally began operating its new international sea cruise passenger terminal "Themistocles" on Monday. The new terminal, which is the second such terminal at the port and apparently covers an area of 5,600 square metres, is able to service up to 25,000 passengers daily, has large entrance-exit areas, modern control systems, parking facilities for taxis, tourist buses and other vehicles.

The chairman and chief executive of Piraeus Port Organization, George Anomeritis, said that the new terminal is going to be able to service sea cruise passengers from different entry and exit gate points and announced that there are more plans in store for the Piraeus port in 2013. One such plan is a third sea cruise passenger terminal by the end of the present year.
