TEMES SA, the company behind the multi-awarded Costa Navarino resort in Messinia and new owner of Hilton Athens, and the Luxembourg-based hospitality platform Grivalia have taken on the refurbishment of two coastal properties along the Athenian Riviera.

The famous "Athenian Riviera" is taking on a new face, as throughout the length of the 70 km coastline stretching from Mikrolimano to Sounio there is a large number of recreational, landscaping and real estate development, with new luxury villas, and five-star hotels, while the work of the redevelopment of the former airport in Elliniko has not yet begun.

A casino resort to be the first building erected at the Agios Cosmas marina along the Athenian Riviera within an eight-billion-euro project to develop Hellenikon, Athens’ former airport, got the go-ahead by the finance ministry on Monday with licensing awarded following the announcement of an international tender.
