The Indoor Gymnasium of Merikia is being upgraded into a multi-purpose sports and culture venue, according to the presentation held on Sunday, March 1, 2026 by Mayor Timotheus Kottakis and the project's researchers.
As mentioned, the project is not limited to the energy upgrade of the building, but also includes substantial interventions that change the function of the space, so that it can host more activities.
Among other things, the following are provided for:

- Alterations/configuration to accommodate tennis and volleyball matches in addition to existing uses.
- Gym equipment
