Impressive Building

Jul 2017 • Solo

Maximos Mansion is located in the center of Athens near Syntagma Square. It was built in 1921 by a wealthy Greek citizen. Since 1982 it is used as the office and residence of the Prime Minister of Greece. It is an impressive building which was built in the neoclassical architecture style.

Next Door to Presidential Palace

Oct 2018 • Couples

This is where the Prime Minister has his offices and residence. It is right next door to the Presidential Palace where guards stand on ceremony outside of the Palace.

Mansion completed in the early 1920s

Feb 2020

A fine Neo-Classical building that is today the Offices of the Prime Minister only became so in 1982. It has had an interesting back-story since Dimitrios Maximos completed it in the early 1920s.

In its time it has been the US Ambassador’s residence and subsequently a State Guesthouse for visiting heads of state.

Because of space limitations in the construct there have been proposals to move the Offices to a more suitable facility.
