On Saturday, 31 May, the passenger car ferry Daleela will set sail from the port of Limassol, marking the launch of this year’s passenger sea connection between Cyprus and Greece. In total, the vessel will complete 22 round trips to and from the port of Piraeus, serving both passengers and vehicles throughout the summer season.
At a press conference held at the Limassol Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Deputy Minister of Shipping Marina Hadjimanoli and the operating company Scandro Holding Ltd presented details regarding the resumption of the ferry service for 2025. The decision to extend the contract for the Cyprus-Greece sea link for another three years (2025–2027) was approved by the Council of Ministers on 23 August 2024.
During the first three years of the route’s operation, Ms Hadjimanoli stated that Daleela transported 22,582 passengers, 772 pets, and 7,641 accompanied vehicles — figures that confirm the growing popularity of the Cyprus-Greece sea connection.
