Demolition of the former residence of actor Sotiris Moustakas in Vrilissia

The former residence of the late renowned Cypriot comedic actor Sotiris Moustakas has been demolished in the Vrilissia neighborhood of Athens. Located at the intersection of Analipseos and Thermopylon streets, the house served as a home for Moustakas and his wife, actress Maria Bonelou, during the 1980s.

The demolition, which took place on Thursday, November 5, 2026, sparked widespread public attention after local residents shared images of the machinery on social media platforms. The site, which is also noted for being a filming location for the actor’s film 'Kamikazi tsantakias', became a focal point for locals to share personal memories and tributes to the actor, who passed away in 2007. Residents described the event as the end of an era, reflecting on Moustakas's accessible and humble personality while he lived in the community.

While the property was a point of interest for the local community, it was not the actor's residence at the time of his death, as he had relocated to another area in his final years. There are no reports of ongoing disputes regarding the property, as the demolition marks the final stage for the structure that had become a symbolic landmark of the actor's life in the area.
