Greetings at the opening ceremony
“With great honor and joy I complete the opening of the marina of Ayia Napa. An emblematic project, which we envisioned since 1993 and have now implemented, and which will not change only the tourist landscape of Cyprus, but also of the Eastern Mediterranean.
To this end, I feel the need to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Naguib Sawiris, who, despite all the obstacles he may have faced, showed real faith in our country, proceeding with this investment, worth over 300 million an investment, in cooperation with a recognized Cypriot company, the Caramondanis Group, in which I also express my sincere thanks.

What I say is not enough to emphasize the obvious benefits and opportunities that the Ayia Napa marina or the positive effects of constructive and transparent cooperation between the central government, local authorities and the private sector.
