this is the athens riviera – a prime strip of real estate that encapsulates everything you would expect to find in such a prestigiously-named destination. from the affluent lifestyle to the air of bon viveur, life on the riviera is lined by exotic palm trees, chic seafront watering holes and thumping night clubs, making it a popular summer spot. home to mega yachts, designer coffee shops and stylish eateries, it is the closest thing you can get to being on mykonos whilst still on the mainland.
floisvos marina at faliron is a mere ten minutes from the centre and draws you into that relaxed, dizzy sense of hedonism. kalamaki just down the road is a favourite with swimmers, clubbers and mojito lovers, with its wide variety of beach clubs and international dj parties. but that true riviera feel really begin s when you drive just a few kilometres further along the coast to glyfada, a smart suburb and all year round ‘resort’. unofficially known as ‘the hamptons’, here you will find exclusive villas and all the designer labels you can afford, with dressed-to-impress shoppers hanging out in the celebrity-owned coffee shops. venture on to voula, darling of the organised beach crowd, where adrenalin-pumping water sports, designer beachwear and sophisticated cocktails are just a must.
its neighbour vouliagmeni boasts a popular marina and the oh so exclusive astir beach, where waterfront hotels and the soon-to-open four seasons make this ‘the place to be’. do the coastal cruise in a cabriolet, enjoying the winding road to aghia marina and think capri or amalfi, but even more stunning
nerina occupies the second floor of a contemporary residential development in central glyfada, combining clean architectural geometry with generous outdoor space and a strong connection to natural light. positioned within walking distance of both the coastline and the commercial centre of glyfada, the residence balances the convenience of its location with the privacy of an elevated residential setting.
the architecture is defined by horizontal lines, deep terraces and carefully integrated planting that soften the building’s contemporary form while creating shade and privacy. full-height glazing extends across the apartment’s exterior, allowing daylight to move naturally through the interiors and strengthening the relationship between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
the main living area unfolds as a continuous open-plan environment where sitting, dining and kitchen spaces are connected through a calm palette of natural materials and understated finishes. large sliding openings extend the interior directly onto the expansive l-shaped terrace, creating a seamless transition between the principal living areas and the outdoor spaces. the apartment′s private swimming pool forms an integral part of the architecture, bringing movement, light and openness to the overall composition.
throughout the residence, the design emphasises clarity, proportion and comfort rather than decoration. natural materials, soft tones and carefully considered detailing create a calm atmosphere, while the generous glazing ensures that every space remains connected to daylight and the surrounding terraces. the kitchen integrates discreetly within the wider living area, maintaining the visual continuity of the interior.
the two bedrooms are arranged as private suites, each with direct access to outdoor space and a strong sense of independence from the main reception areas. large openings, balanced proportions and a restrained material palette continue throughout the private accommodation, creating bright and uncluttered interiors that feel both contemporary and enduring.
the terraces function as a natural extension of the apartment, expanding the living spaces beyond the interior footprint and creating a continuous connection with the outdoors. integrated planting contributes to privacy while softening the architecture and reinforcing the residential character of the property.
designed to support contemporary living, the residence incorporates smart home technology, underfloor heating and cooling, electric shutters, solar panels and integrated lighting systems. one underground parking space and a private storage room are included.
located approximately 450 metres from glyfada′s centre and 500 metres from the sea, nerina places boutiques, cafés, marinas and the waterfront within easy reach while maintaining a quieter position within one of the area′s established residential neighbourhoods. scheduled for completion in spring 2027 and eligible for the greek golden visa programme, the property combines contemporary architecture with the convenience of one of the athens riviera′s most sought-after locations.
as evening light settles across the terraces, the apartment retains a quiet sense of openness, elevated above the surrounding neighbourhood yet closely connected to the rhythm of glyfada beyond.
