Amphipolis: Hydroplane companies ask licence to use the port

The licencing issue of the waterway at the "forgotten" port of Amphipolis will be examined in October by the Amphipolis Port Authorities following the interest expressed by waterway companies to include the specific destination into their schedule.


According to Amphipolis mayor Costas Melitios, the companies ask from the Port Authority to give the green light to hydroplanes to bring tourists from all over Greece in order to visit the archaeological site of Ancient Amphipolis.

The Amphipolis port, used in the post WWII years as a major commercial and passengers port, is situated 2.5 km away from Kasta Hill of the Ancient Amphipolis where the archaeological excavations are taking place.
