The Ellinikon Park

The Ellinikon, Athens, Greece

Member Profile

Covering a sprawling 2,000,000 sq.m. of lush, landscaped greenery, The Ellinikon Park forms the heart of The Ellinikon, redefining Athens’ coastal front, creating a seamless connection between city, sea, and nature.

It is being delivered in phases, with roughly 75,000 sq.m. already open, about 800,000 sq.m. under construction, and the remainder scheduled for completion in 2031.

As one of the world’s largest coastal parks, it offers a rich variety of experiences: from exploring its architectural heritage and cultural nodes, to children’s activities, sports, walking, and cycling. Every path, garden, and open space is designed to enhance daily life, foster well-being, and provide a living sanctuary where city life and nature coexist in harmony.

Reason for joining GCDN

As a Metropolitan Park of significant scale and influence, we recognize that our role extends far beyond green space provision.
