athens riviera
the athenian coastline stretches from its southern suburbs in the saronic gulf all the way to the temple of poseidon in cape sounion , with an unending string of a-class beaches, busy marinas and trendy neighbourhoods in between.
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’. 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 newly opened 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
positioned across the fourth and fifth floors of a contemporary building in glyfada, nolan is a penthouse residence defined by openness, natural light and far-reaching views across the golf course towards the saronic gulf. the architecture adopts a clean, contemporary language of broad horizontal planes, generous glazing and expansive outdoor areas, creating a strong connection between the residence and its surroundings while maintaining the privacy expected of a home in one of the most sought-after locations on the athenian riviera.
extending across approximately 275 sqm (2,960 sqft), the residence unfolds over two levels arranged to balance social and private spaces. the interiors are characterised by carefully considered proportions, warm natural materials and a restrained palette that allows light to become a central feature of the architecture. large glazed openings frame the surrounding landscape from almost every principal room, drawing the eye beyond the immediate urban setting towards the greenery of the golf course and the sea beyond.
the principal living areas are arranged as a continuous sequence of spaces that flow naturally from one to another. living, dining and kitchen areas are connected without unnecessary division, creating an environment that feels both spacious and comfortable. throughout the day, sunlight moves across the interior from multiple orientations, enhancing the sense of volume and reinforcing the relationship between the residence and the outdoors.
four bedrooms and five bathrooms are distributed across the two levels to ensure privacy and separation from the main living areas. the principal suite occupies a quieter position within the residence, benefiting from open views and a greater sense of retreat. throughout the private accommodation, the architectural language remains consistent, combining clean lines, generous proportions and carefully integrated detailing.
outdoor spaces form an essential part of the experience of the home. broad terraces extend the living areas beyond the building envelope, creating a continuous connection to the surrounding views and allowing the residence to engage fully with its elevated position above glyfada. the upper level enjoys particularly wide outlooks across the golf course, the coastline and the sea, while the orientation captures the changing character of the light throughout the day.
located within one of glyfada’s most established residential neighbourhoods, the property combines a sense of tranquillity with immediate access to the wider riviera. the marina, beaches, cafés, restaurants and boutiques of central glyfada are all nearby, while athens city centre and the international airport remain easily accessible.
the residence incorporates advanced smart-home technology, enhanced security systems, underfloor heating, underground parking with electric vehicle charging infrastructure, private storage areas and lift access. completion is scheduled for summer 2026.
as daylight recedes across the coastline, the elevated position of the residence brings the landscape into focus, with views extending across the golf course towards the sea and the evening light settling gradually over the riviera.
