Kameiro Skala Port - Rhodes Island
The Port of Kameiro Skala is located on the west coast of the island of Rhodes, about 45 km west from the islands town center and 4.5 km south of Kritinia village. The existing port facility is serving a ferry fleet connecting Kameiros with Halki island, the fishing fleet of the Region and a few transit pleasure boats during the summer period.
In 2010, the Municipal Harbor Treasury of South Dodecanese published a tender notice for upgrading and expanding the Kameiro Skala port, with extended capabilities to provide occasional berthing for ferries serving the island of Rhodes in case adverse weather conditions prohibit approach to the main port of Rhodes. CNWAY bidded for the competition and relevant contract was signed in 2014.
