Hellenic Ports Association

The sea was, is and always will be a source of life and devel- opment for our country. It is the same for the Greek cruise industry which now joins forces under an ambitious new ini- tiative of the Hellenic Ports Association, through the creation of clustering cruise ports, under the name GREEK CRUISE. The purpose of the creation of such clustering is the coopera- tion for the coordinated promotion of Greek cruise ports, so that our country can be organized to communicate with the overseas ports - receptors of cruise. This is an outward-coordinated movement in which at the first stage includes 3 actions: the creation of a logo and identity for all Greek cruise ports, the creation of a strong, utilitarian and interactive website in order to promote the ports and the creation of the document that you are holding in your hands, in which both the ports and their technical characteristics are presented, as well as the visit able areas around them. These actions are addressed to the global tourist audience by means of a simple, clear and simultaneously dynamic ap- proach to the emergence of port capabilities of our country. It is the first time that the general public has the opportunity to learn of the aggregate capabilities of the Greek Cruise which is absolutely competitive and dynamic, and we all have to high- light its characteristics. Simultaneously, the new clustering, the first phase of which involves the 25 ports of cruise destination from the members of the Hellenic Ports Association, will strengthen the coopera- tion between the ports. We would like to invite you to explore the Greek ports through the pages of the Greek Cruise. www.greekcruise.gr
