In a recent announcement, it was reported that after just five months of work and close collaboration with the technical teams of the European Parliament, the 1,000 square meter space was delivered "turnkey," ready to welcome visitors before the summer of 2025.
This project complements the cultural wing of the Arsakeio Mansion, which includes the Theatre of Art, the Lecture Hall of the Philological Society, as well as the new rooftop space that will host cultural events.
Present at the handover were Panos Triantafyllopoulos, CEO of Legendary Food, and Dinos Papadimitriou, General Manager, alongside Bernd Lippert, General Director of the European Parliament, Ioannis Theodoridis, Project Manager, and Marc Van Eechaute, Engineer Project Manager.
Mr. Triantafyllopoulos stated: "The creation of Europa Experience at the Arsakeio Arcade marks a milestone for the cultural and social revitalization of the heart of Athens. Through this project, our city connects with the pulse of Europe, creating a space of knowledge, dialogue, and inspiration for all citizens. We are proud that Legendary Food has played a decisive role in realizing this vision."
