Oliver Dörschuck, D-Marin's CEO, said: "The Messinia region has the potential to be one of the Mediterranean's finest yachting locations. Together with our highly reputable partner TEMES, we are committed to integrating the local needs as we transform the offering and put this exceptional location on the map of maritime tourism."
The investment in Pylos Marina will include development of the local area to provide more parking and areas for events, as well as other amenities and a focus on digitisation and sustainability. The wider area of the marina will be open to the public to freely enjoy its benefits.
Maritime tourism and yachting are expected to play a significant part in Greece's future tourism growth. The choice of D-Marin and TEMES as preferred investors of Pylos Marina for the next 40 years was taken by Hellenic Asset Development Fund (HRADF), a member company of GROWTHFUND - The National Fund of Greece.
