Hersonissos Port Redevelopment Removed from EU Recovery Plan

Monday, 29 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
The planned redevelopment of the Hersonissos Port Land Zone is now in doubt after the project was removed from Greece's Recovery and Resilience Fund. The renovation scheme, which aimed to upgrade the waterfront area of one of Crete's most visited resort towns, lost its funding following a decision signed by Deputy Minister Papathanasiis. Local official Parassyris has raised concerns about the project's future, with no alternative funding source confirmed. For visitors, the Hersonissos port area is likely to remain in its current state for the foreseeable future, with no major construction or upgrades expected in the near term. The situation reflects broader challenges facing infrastructure renewal projects across Greece as Recovery Fund deadlines tighten. Tourists visiting Hersonissos this summer should not expect changes to the port zone waterfront during their stay.
