👉 Attica region in the context of Elliniko
Elliniko (Greek: Ελληνικό, meaning 'Hellenic' or 'Greek') is a coastal municipality in the Attica region and a southern suburban town in the Athens agglomeration in Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform, it has been part of the municipality of Elliniko-Argyroupoli, of which it is a municipal unit. Elliniko is known for the former Hellinikon Olympic Complex, a temporary sporting complex building on the grounds of the former Ellinikon International Airport used for the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2004 Summer Paralympics.
Elliniko is the site of a major development project for coastal Athens beginning in 2020 and due for completion in 2026—the Hellenikon Metropolitan Park, consisting of luxury homes, hotels, a casino, a marina, shops, offices, and Greece's tallest buildings such as the Riviera Tower and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Athens, which will be the first integrated resort in Greece.

Attica region in the context of Hotel Mont Parnes
Regency Casino Mont Parnes, also known as the Parnitha Casino, is a casino situated at Mount Parnitha north of Athens. Originally built as Hotel Mont Parnes, it was a luxury hotel designed by architect Pavlos Mylonas and was built between 1958 and 1961.
It was the first luxury hotel in the Attica region, but was not commercially successful. This would lead to casino being licensed on its premises in 1971, that would also become the first one ever in the Attica. Subsequently, an aerial tramway (the Parnitha Funitel) would be built in 1972 to help transport quests up to the hotel.
