Afanasiu: one of the first smart cities in the world

The process of urban redevelopment in Ellinikon, which is currently in full swing, as well as the factors influencing the real estate market in Greece, were highlighted by the CEO of Lamda Development, Odysseas Athanasiou, in an interview published in a special edition of Business Focus for distribution in collaboration with USA Today and the Delphi Economic Forum. Athanasiou identified several factors driving the real estate market, including tourism. Many foreigners are also eager to purchase property in Greece, including citizens from the Middle East: Lebanese, Israelis, and Egyptians are buying homes for various reasons, as well as Saudis and Syrians. There is even significant interest from Greeks living abroad, such as the second or third generation of Greeks residing in the USA or other European countries.
