The construction of a marina with 200 berths will begin in the bay of Slano at the end of this year's tourist season. The marina will be located on the south side of the bay of Slano, and the value of construction is estimated to be at least five million euros. The marina will be a pontoon so there will not be excessive concrete or major works in the area, and it is predicted that about 10 acres of land and sea will be needed for this project. Completion of work is planned for the start of the 2012 season.
