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
emperia is a garden residence within cove residences at the ellinikon, positioned just 100 metres from the shoreline in one of the mediterranean’s largest urban regeneration projects. set among landscaped pedestrian streets on the athens riviera, the property combines the scale and privacy of a villa with the convenience of a contemporary waterfront apartment.
arranged across a single level, the residence extends to 331 sqm of interior space with a 21-metre façade that opens directly onto its private gardens. floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels create uninterrupted continuity between the interiors and the outdoor living areas, allowing natural light to move through the apartment throughout the day. the architecture follows a restrained palette of pale stone, warm timber, and soft textured finishes, creating an atmosphere that feels calm, understated, and closely connected to the landscape outside.
the main living and dining area unfolds as one continuous open space, oriented toward the garden and pool terraces. a fireplace anchors the sitting area, while the adjoining kitchen combines marble surfaces, integrated cabinetry, and generous proportions designed for both daily living and larger gatherings. in the afternoon, sunlight filters softly across the oak flooring and neutral interiors, reinforcing the apartment’s quiet riviera atmosphere.
four bedrooms are positioned for privacy and separation from the principal entertaining spaces. the primary suite includes a spacious dressing area and marble-clad bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms continue the same minimalist architectural language through soft tones, natural materials, and carefully controlled light. additional spaces include two staff rooms, laundry facilities, storage areas, and flexible utility rooms suited to year-round living.
one of emperia’s defining features is its expansive private garden of approximately 1,668 sqm, unusually generous for a waterfront apartment in athens. landscaped outdoor areas extend naturally from the interiors and include a large swimming pool, firepit lounge, shaded dining terrace, and multiple sitting areas surrounded by planting. the transition between inside and outside remains almost seamless, particularly during the warmer months when the residence opens entirely toward the garden.
located within the ellinikon masterplan, emperia sits moments from the future riviera galleria, foster tower, marina facilities, the mandarin oriental, and the coastal promenade. as the first resale opportunity within cove residences and currently the only available unit in the development, the property represents a rare position within one of europe’s most closely followed waterfront projects.
