The ferry line connecting the ports of Lavrio in Greece and Cesme in Turkey was launched on Monday in the presence of Greek Minister of Infrastructure, Transport and Networks Christos Spirtzis and Turkish Ambassador to Greece Burak Ozugergin, ANA reports.
Greek Transport Minister pointed out that the new ferry line is being launched on a historic day when Greek refugees of Asia Minor arrived at the port of Lavrion after the uprooting of their grandparents in the early 20th century.
The new line has scheduled three round trips per week: Departing Cesme at 22:00 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, arriving at Lavrio at 06:00 am, then departing Lavrio at 22:00, arriving at Cesme at 06:00 am the next morning.
