“Is this the mosque they’ve been telling us about for so many years?” Naim Elghandour told Thema 104.6 radio on Saturday.
He added that it looks more like an oversized kiosk, the ekathimerini website reported.
Elghandour said that the mosque, which will have no minarets or loudspeakers, will fit just 300 men and 50 women. Athens, he said, has a Muslim population of around 500,000.
