Greenways

What Greenways does

Greenways Hellas LTD. is a privately-held landscape architecture and urban design practice founded in Athens in 1997 by Karolos Chanikian, a University of Pennsylvania-trained landscape architect with prior experience at Andropogon Associates and Peter Walker and Partners. The firm operates from a single Athens headquarters (Katechaki 25 St.) with 11-50 employees and delivers a full-service offering spanning landscape planning, detailed design, construction supervision, and long-term maintenance for projects across Greece, Albania, Cyprus, and Dubai. Its client base spans luxury hospitality (Nammos Village, Scorpios Mykonos, Neptune Hotels Resort, Euphoria Retreat, Bill & COO), corporate (Alpha Bank headquarters), entertainment (Allou Fun Park), food & beverage (Hytra Restaurant, Pyrgos Petrezas Winery), high-end residential (Paros, Mykonos, Porto Heli, Psychiko, Filothei properties), and public-sector clients (Municipality of Athens).

The firm's core technology is domain specialization in Mediterranean climate landscape architecture — sustainable design solutions adapted to local geology, microclimate, and hydrology, using native planting material. Its proprietary product is the GreenTag vertical garden system: modular aluminum frames with autonomous irrigation engineered specifically to minimize water consumption while supporting diverse plant species in Mediterranean conditions. The GreenTag offering is commercialized through a technology partnership with Greentag.gr and functions as a sub-brand under the Greenways Hellas identity.

Greenways makes money exclusively through professional services fees on a quote-based, project-by-project basis, with multi-year maintenance supervision contracts providing a recurring revenue layer. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are initiated via direct inquiry through the firm's website. Distribution is direct — enterprise field sales to property developers, hospitality operators, architects (ISV Architects, K-Studio, DECA Architects, GEM Architects), and corporate clients — supplemented by portfolio-driven marketing through the company website, editorial coverage in design publications (ELLE Decoration, Villas, Domes), and organic social sharing. The company is founder-owned with no institutional investors, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity disclosed.
