Regional development and restoration in Greece

Overview

Regional authorities in Greece have approved funding for various preservation and development projects. In Central Macedonia, the regional governor signed off on over 1.2 million euros via the ESPA program to fund restoration works for Mount Athos monasteries. These projects include structural repairs to the western wing of the Iviron Monastery and the reconstruction of the Saint Sava Cell at Simonopetra Monastery, which was lost to fire in 1991.

In the Thessalian Mount Olympus region, an Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) Action Plan has been presented with an indicative budget of approximately €7.99 million. The plan includes 22 priority projects designed to balance environmental protection with regional development, aiming to boost tourism and preserve cultural heritage following UNESCO recognition of the area.
