Abandoned Airport to Become £7bn Seaside City

The old airport will be changed.

A closed airport will become a new city by the sea with luxury apartments.

Ellinikon Airport in Athens was once very busy with over 10 million passengers per year.

The old airport will be a new city with a £7.6 billion project, the biggest in Europe, and will have nine apartment blocks.

A new neighborhood called Promenade Heights is being built with nine circular buildings.

The old air traffic control tower is still standing at Ellinikon Airport.

The new city is being built for today and the future.

People like the new architecture, saying it is perfect.

The city will have a 200-meter tall tower, the Riviera Tower, with 50 floors.

The city is designed so people can walk or bike to get what they need.

The city will have a big park and promote healthy living.

The city will have new homes, shops, sports facilities, hotels, and entertainment.

The old airport site is being completely changed.

The city will attract many tourists, with a new public beach and marina.

The city will have a lot of green spaces, about 600 acres of parks.

The project will create 85,000 jobs and be environmentally friendly.

The city will be a popular tourist spot in the future.

The airport was built in the 1930s and used by Nazi Germany during World War 2.

After the war, the airport was rebuilt and became the main airport for Athens.

The airport was the main gateway to Greece for many years.

A look at what the new smart city will look like.

The airport closed in 2001 due to security and noise concerns.

Parts of the site were used for sports during the Athens Olympics in 2004.

Recently, the site was used by refugees living in tents.

The construction of the new city started in 2020 and will be finished by 2027.
