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
oldora occupies the sixth and seventh floors of a contemporary residential building in central glyfada, combining elevated views across the saronic gulf with the greenery of the nearby golf course. defined by clean horizontal lines, expansive glazing and generous terraces, the architecture adopts a restrained approach that balances openness with privacy, creating a residence closely connected to both the coastline and the urban fabric of the athenian riviera.
the penthouse is shaped by natural light, proportion and a carefully considered relationship between interior and exterior space. full-height glazing extends across the principal living areas, drawing daylight deep into the residence while framing long views towards the sea. a palette of timber, stone and warm natural finishes introduces a sense of softness to the contemporary architecture, creating interiors that feel calm, cohesive and highly liveable.
the main living level unfolds as a sequence of interconnected spaces arranged around the terraces beyond. large sliding openings allow the residence to open almost entirely to the exterior, extending the living areas outward and reinforcing the connection between the apartment and its surroundings. the layout prioritises openness and flow, while maintaining a strong sense of comfort and functionality for everyday living.
high ceilings and carefully integrated architectural detailing enhance the sense of volume throughout. the changing light becomes an integral part of the experience of the home, from the softer morning light entering through the eastern façades to the warmer tones that settle across the terraces and living spaces later in the day.
three bedroom suites are arranged to maximise privacy while maintaining a strong visual connection to the surrounding landscape. each benefits from direct access to outdoor space and abundant natural light, while the principal suite incorporates more generous proportions and a dedicated dressing area. throughout the private accommodation, the same restrained material palette and architectural consistency continue, creating a unified sense of calm across the residence.
outdoor space forms an essential part of the property. the upper-level terrace extends the living environment beyond the interior, creating a series of spaces oriented towards the sea, the golf course and the wider cityscape. the elevated position provides a rare balance between openness and privacy, while integrated planting softens the architecture and reinforces the residential character of the building. as evening approaches, the views shift from the blue tones of the coastline to the illuminated skyline of glyfada and the riviera beyond.
the residence incorporates energy-efficient systems and smart home technology throughout, including underfloor heating and cooling, solar panels, led lighting and automated shutters. two underground parking spaces, a storage room and separate staff accommodation complete the practical infrastructure of the property.
located approximately 450 metres from the centre of glyfada and 500 metres from the coast, the residence places beaches, marinas, restaurants, boutiques and everyday amenities within easy reach while remaining elevated above the activity of the town. the combination of coastal access, year-round vitality and contemporary infrastructure continues to establish glyfada as one of the most sought-after residential destinations along the athens riviera.
currently under construction and scheduled for completion in spring 2027.
