Peace Boat arrives in Mediterranean, expected at Piraeus on Monday
The 'Peace Boat' that set sail from Japan to spread a message against war, nuclear weapons and in support of refugees has arrived and was crossing the Mediterranean Sea on Thursday.
It is expected to reach the shores of Turkey on Sunday at Kusadasi and then dock at Piraeus port on Monday morning. A series of events starting at 11:00 on Monday have been planned for its reception, organised by local government with the support of the Piraeus Port Authority.
Peace Boat is a global non-governmental organisation headquartered in Japan, established for the purpose of raising awareness and building connections internationally among groups that work for peace, human rights, environmental protection and sustainable development.
Its latest journey began in Yokohama on August 21, where it is due to return on December 6.
