You can already see real results:
- In 2023, the port welcomed 48 cruise ships and 78,214 tourists
- In 2024, this figure rises to 120,980 passengers
- From October 2025, the port will be able to accommodate superyachts up to 90m at the same time, with more than 180 mooring spaces and a minimum of 50 superyacht slips
