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
assador is situated in one of voula’s newest residential districts, a short walk from the coastline and within easy reach of the commercial heart of the athens riviera. forming part of a fully serviced residential development, the residence combines the proportions and privacy of a standalone home with the convenience of a contemporary managed environment.
the architecture is defined by clean horizontal volumes, generous terraces and a strong relationship with the surrounding landscape. extensive glazing and carefully considered orientation allow natural light to move throughout the interiors, while creating a continuous visual connection between the living spaces and the private outdoor areas. the overall composition feels calm and residential, balancing openness with a sense of seclusion despite its central location.
the principal living spaces are arranged around fluidity and natural light. floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels open directly onto the terraces and pool area, allowing the interior spaces to extend naturally outdoors. a restrained palette of timber, stone and soft neutral finishes creates continuity throughout the residence, while the proportions of the rooms emphasise openness rather than formality. the result is an environment that feels both contemporary and enduring.
the kitchen is integrated within the overall architectural language of the home, designed as part of the living environment rather than as a separate space. clean lines, natural materials and carefully resolved detailing reinforce the sense of simplicity that characterises the interiors as a whole.
five en-suite bedrooms are arranged to provide privacy and independence, each benefiting from generous proportions and access to natural light. the principal suite occupies its own private domain within the residence, incorporating dedicated dressing areas and a spacious bathroom finished in natural materials. an additional staff or live-in maid’s room adds flexibility for longer-term living arrangements.
outdoor spaces form an essential extension of the residence. the private swimming pool sits alongside the principal terrace, while landscaped gardens create a gradual transition between architecture and greenery. the positioning of the home within the development allows for open outlooks and a greater sense of privacy than is typically associated with properties located so close to the sea. as evening light settles across the terraces, the relationship between the interior spaces, gardens and surrounding landscape becomes particularly apparent.
residents benefit from a comprehensive range of services and amenities, including concierge assistance, 24-hour security, wellness and fitness facilities, spa services and controlled access throughout the development. the beach lies approximately 150 metres away, while the cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities of voula remain within comfortable walking distance.
