Gythion Port - Lakonia Region

Gythion is located on the northwestern end of the gulf of Lakonia. The port connects Gythion with the Islands of Kithira and Crete (Chania) and with Piraeus as well as being a port of call for Cruise ships operating in the Eastern Mediterranean.

A Master Plan was needed to support the proposed port development and address long term planning. The contract was awarded by the former Prefecture and current Regional Unit of Laconia in 2007 to a consortium led by DENCO SA with CNWAY serving as the main subcontractor for the port Master Planning. The study was conducted in accordance with applicable standards and approved by the Planning Commission and Port Development (ESAL) on August 2007.
