Alimos Marina, one of the most historic marinas in Greece and an integral part of the developing coastal front of the capital, also known as the “Athenian Riviera”, was visited by the Minister of Development & Investments, Ms. Eleni Louri-Dendrinou.
There she met with the CEO of ELLAKTOR Group, Mr. Efthimios Bouloutas and the manager of Alimos Marina, Mr. Vangelis Vlachos, and was informed about the course of the concession and the planned renovation projects of the new Marina Alimos.
The concession contract, lasting 40 years, was signed in 2021 by the subsidiary company of the AKTOR CONCESSIONS group, while the development, design and construction project has been undertaken by REDS, also a subsidiary of the same group, with the aim of upgrading it to one of the most modern Mediterranean tourist marinas by the end of 2025.
With a land area of 210,000 sq.m., a sea area of 428,000 sq.m. and jetties 1,170 m long, it is the largest marina in Greece and the Balkans with 1,100 permanent boat berths while operating in accordance with international standards and specifications.
According to the company’s design, hotel, commercial, entertainment and sports facilities and large green spaces will be developed in the new Alimos Marina. At the same time, a total of 900 boats, up to 50m long, will be accommodated, with modern facilities and services for their refueling and safety.
Alimos Marina is waiting for the issuance of the joint ministerial decision and the following building permits in the near future, with the prospect of starting work in 2023 and completing the project by the end of 2025.
“This is a landmark project at a strategic point on the rapidly developing coastal front of Attica, an integrated investment that already contributes and will contribute even more in the future, when the planned redevelopment projects are completed, to the further promotion of high quality hospitality and tourism services in the Greece”, pointed out the Minister of Development & Investments, Mrs. Eleni Louris-Dendrinou in her statements and added: “Marinas are key infrastructure projects in the modern economy, with multiple added value, both locally and nationally”.
For his part, the managing director of the ELLAKTOR Group, Mr. E. Bouloutas, noted with regard to the wider financial and social impact of the investment: “The total investment of Alimos Marina worth approximately 100 million euros and the total direct and indirect contribution of both in the tourism product as well as in employment will contribute significantly to the GDP of the country. The land-based development with shops, restaurants, sports facilities and a hotel unit foresees a significant increase in jobs and employment opportunities both in the Marina itself and in the other uses envisaged within it.
