Thessaloniki, Greece on September 2022 (Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto via Getty Images)] According to Greek Travel Pages, a staggering €180 million (around £149.80 million) will be spent to help modernise the port's infrastructure.
Celestyal Cruises is a Cruise line which operates out from Pireaus Port and Athens Greece serving Greece, Greek Islands, Turkey and Eastern Mediterranean.
"Having made mandatory and non-mandatory investments worth over €71.3 million (£59.36 million)since March 2018, ThPA S.A. is fully prepared to proceed with its development planning and the Master Plan's projects, which will have a significant contribution to and multiplying effects on the economy and society, both at a local and at a national level.
Over in Greece's capital of Athens, which is only 55 minutes away via plane, protests against over tourism erupted last year - with slogans such as 'Tourists go home' spray painted on walls in popular areas.
There are several days where more than one cruise ship is expected to arrive in the port on the same day as each other, meaning tourists will be infiltrating the city en masse.
