Greek visitors to the Olympic Sports Center of Athens ‘Spyros Louis’ (OAKA) must feel both pride and nostalgia remembering the Olympic Games of 2004, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday evening at the site, northeast of Athens, ANA reports.
At OAKA to present a master plan for the upgrade and development of the facilities, Mitsotakis noted that “we all remember the peak moments of the Olympic Games of 2004”. But what followed, he said, was “disappointment that very important facilities were abandoned, pretty much what happened to all of the Olympic facilities.”
Mitsotakis said the master plan will overhaul the entire complex at a budget of 43 million euros provided by the Recovery Fund. “Our purpose is that its budget is balanced in three years and it starts bringing in revenues by the fifth year,” the premier pointed out.
