Project VORIA by Regency

I honestly don’t understand how VORIA is supposed to compete with Hard Rock Ellinikon. For starters, the Hard Rock casino is opening in 2027, while the VORIA project won’t even be completed until 2028. And the location in Maroussi seems like a huge issue. It’s right next to a major hospital and two big malls, so the area is already packed with traffic all the time. I can’t really imagine people wanting to deal with all that congestion just to get there.

New Regency Casino Mont Parnes Maroussi:

Construction of the Mont Parnes casino in Maroussi, Athens, has indeed started. Here are a couple of photos from a few days ago.

The company expects that the move of the Mont Parnes casino to Maroussi will increase annual visits to 1.68 million by 2032, within an ambitious hotel and leisure complex valued at almost 200 million euros.

North Star Entertainment reinforces its commitment to Athens as a booming tourist destination with the development of the Voria hotel and leisure complex, currently under construction in Maroussi, north of the Greek capital. The project will include the move of the historic Mont Parnes casino from Mount Parnitha to a more accessible and urban location, with the aim of attracting a greater influx of national and international visitors.

This is the future site of the Regency Casino in Marousi. I'm not sure how it's going to work in this location. They will definitely need a massive underground parking structure, as this area is already struggling with limited parking and constant road traffic.

Regency Casino Mount Parnes is going to be relocated to Marousi, next to the Golden Hall mall.

Another key development is the relocation of Parni*tha Casino to Marousi. The plan, initially proposed thirteen years ago, overcame legal hurdles after the Council of State approved Presidential Decree No. 36 (FEK 79/A/30-3-2023), which permits the transfer and modernization of the casino into a multifunctional complex.

This Voria complex will occupy 52 acres near Golden Hall—an upscale shopping mall in Marousi—with 27 acres allocated for public spaces and 25 acres housing the casino, a five-star hotel with 150 rooms, a 1,400-seat auditorium, dining, entertainment areas, and a 636-space underground parking garage.

The $270 million investment is projected to create three thousand construction jobs and three thousand permanent positions, with completion expected three years after the building permit, anticipated in September 2025.

This is Athens' only casino, and it's always busy. Once Hard Rock opens, they'll relocate it from the mountain.
