The Presidential Mansion (Greek: Προεδρικό Μέγαρο, romanized: Proedrikό Mégaro) in Athens, Greece, is the official residence of the president of the Hellenic Republic. It served previously as the Royal Palace (often known as the New Royal Palace, Greek: Νέα Ανάκτορα, romanized: Néa Anáktora), until the abolition of the monarchy by the 1973 referendum.
