geodata.gov.gr provides open geospatial data and services for Greece, serving as a national open data catalogue, an INSPIRE-conformant Spatial Data Infrastructure, as well as a powerful foundation for enabling value added services from open data. Unfortunately, the geodata.gov.gr service has been suspended [most probably in Spring 2018]: https://ellak.gr/2015/12/to-neo-geodata-gov-gr-anikto-logismiko-gia-anikta-geochorika-dedomena/  2018-12-04 OPERATING AGAIN !

European Middle Class Mass Housing COST Action. "The short documentary presents a small selection of the interviews that have been conducted within the research program.

(Prof. Th. Maloutas, [currently emeritus])
