Officials from Greece's Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Island Policy visited Agia Roumeli, a small coastal village in the Sfakia region of southern Crete, to carry out an on-site inspection of ongoing port construction works. The visit aimed to assess progress toward completing the harbour infrastructure project.
Agia Roumeli is a key stop for visitors hiking the Samaria Gorge, one of Crete's most popular attractions, as the village is only accessible by boat or on foot. The port serves as the main departure point for ferries connecting to Chora Sfakion, Loutro, and Paleochora along the southern coast.
Tourists planning to hike Samaria Gorge and take the return ferry from Agia Roumeli should check with local ferry operators for any schedule updates or temporary disruptions related to the port works before their visit.
