Athens is turning old airport into Europe’s second-largest city park
Athens is set to unveil Ellinikon Park, a visionary urban greening initiative built on a repurposed airport lot. This expansive project seeks to offer city dwellers a refreshing escape with lush greenery and water features designed to effectively reduce temperatures. By incorporating recycled materials and native flora, the park aims to lessen its ecological footprint. The grand opening for this much-anticipated oasis is planned for next year.
