Greek Orthodox head lands luxury Sydney harbour apartment

National controversy is unfolding in Australian mainstream media about the purchase of a $6.5 million luxury apartment with views of Sydney’s famed harbor and Opera House— for the head of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese.

“It’s an unlikely home for a man of God who has taken a vow of poverty,” said Australian network news.com.au, sharing details of the transaction, as well as all of the luxury amenities and costs that come with the purchase.

Archbishop Makarios of Australia is the new resident at a luxury Sydney apartment, “with stunning views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, a concierge and a heated indoor pool,” reported numerous Australian national news outlets.
