Public space interventions have rarely been a strong point of the Greek state, yet several major projects are now advancing toward completion.
The first is the transformation of the historic core of the Tatoi estate into a museum complex dedicated to the history of the Greek monarchy. The former royal palace is being converted into a museum, supported by exhibitions in surrounding buildings, including displays of agricultural production, royal automobiles, and carriages.
Gardens and productive zones are being restored, and essential infrastructure is being installed. Although funded by EU programs and the Recovery Fund, the Ministry of Culture has also moved to lease 24 estate buildings to a private operator for 65 years, introducing hotels, restaurants, and event spaces.
The second project is the “double regeneration,” relocating Panathinaikos’ athletic facilities to Votanikos and freeing valuable space on Alexandras Avenue. A 40,000‑seat stadium is under construction, alongside facilities for the amateur club. Infrastructure works and a 30‑hectare green zone are funded by the Recovery Fund.
Demolition of the old stadium will follow once the new one is licensed.
