The highly anticipated The Ellinikon Project along the Athenian Riviera is moving ahead after authorities issued permits for the construction of two shopping, dining and entertainment areas: the Riviera Galleria and Commercial Hub.

The Riviera Galleria, to be designed by award-winning Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, will in a 23,000m2 area at the Agios Kosmas Marina offer high-end shopping options, dining and first-class entertainment. According to developers the project will include global brands, designer stores, premium fashion boutiques, fine restaurants, high-end bars and will be able to host cultural events and performances.
