New Era For Kato Pyrgos: Major Upgrade To Fishing Refuge Unveiled

Project Overview

Plans to modernize the Fishing Refuge of Kato Pyrgos were announced by the Public Works Department, marking the start of a project valued at more than €6 million. The upgrade will focus on the existing port facilities and is intended to support professional and recreational fishermen, while also serving the growing demand for recreational boating in the area.

For years, Kato Pyrgos has faced challenges linked to its geographic location and limited maritime infrastructure. The proposed works are designed to improve access, safety and operational capacity at the refuge.

Key Infrastructure Enhancements

According to the project’s environmental and engineering studies, the planned works combine port infrastructure improvements with measures aimed at protecting the Tillyria Bay ecosystem.

Proposed upgrades include:

  • Extending and reinforcing the main breakwater using natural boulders and precast concrete elements to improve protection from northwesterly winter waves.
  • Dredging the seabed to remove accumulated sediment and increase water depth, allowing safer access and docking for larger vessels.
  • Replacing existing docking infrastructure with reinforced concrete platforms, including new loading ramps, fenders and safety staircases.
  • Installing facilities for the collection of used oils and vessel waste, together with integrated fire-fighting systems.

Timeline And Economic Impact

Interested contractors have until July 17 to submit bids, which will be assessed on the basis of both cost and technical criteria. Following the planned contract award on November 17, 2026, construction is expected to last 24 months, with completion targeted for 2028, subject to any appeals process.

Project documentation indicates that the works are expected to create employment during the construction phase while improving maritime infrastructure in the region. Part of a broader programme of infrastructure investment in coastal and remote communities, the Kato Pyrgos upgrade has been prioritised by the Public Works Department.
