Construction of the new port began in the early 2000s, and the port became fully operational in the mid-2010s. The name \u201cPhilippos II\u201d was given to the port in honor of the Macedonian king Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, who played a significant role in the development and strengthening of Macedonia in antiquity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-sm-offset-1″]
