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
positioned on the fifth floor in one of glyfada’s most sought-after residential locations, cesare enjoys an elevated setting overlooking both the glyfada golf course and the aegean coastline. the apartment occupies a privileged position within the building, with broad terraces extending around the residence and creating open views that move from the green landscape of the golf course to the sea and the western horizon beyond.
recently redesigned, the 150 sqm (1,615 sq.ft.) interior follows a restrained contemporary aesthetic defined by clean architectural lines, natural light and carefully selected materials. polished marble surfaces, dark timber flooring and full-height glazing create a sense of continuity throughout the residence, while the open outlook ensures a constant connection to the surrounding landscape.
the principal living spaces are arranged as a single open-plan environment, where sitting, dining and kitchen areas flow naturally into one another. wide glazed openings extend across the façade and connect directly to the surrounding terraces, allowing the apartment to feel significantly larger than its internal footprint. throughout the afternoon, western light moves gradually through the interior, while the elevated position preserves unobstructed views towards the sea.
the private areas continue the same architectural language of simplicity and openness. the principal suite incorporates generous proportions and a fluid layout that allows natural light to penetrate deep into the space, while maintaining privacy from the living areas. a second en-suite bedroom opens directly onto a private terrace, extending the sense of indoor-outdoor living and providing elevated views across the golf course and the wider riviera landscape.
outdoor space forms an integral part of the residence. multiple terraces wrap around the apartment, creating a series of distinct yet connected exterior environments that remain visually linked to the sea, the golf course and the changing character of the skyline throughout the day. the elevated position provides an unusual sense of openness within central glyfada, while preserving privacy and uninterrupted sightlines in multiple directions.
the residence forms part of a gated development with 24-hour security, concierge services, private lift access, fitness facilities, underground parking and storage. the building has been designed to provide both convenience and discretion, placing emphasis on security, ease of access and day-to-day comfort.
located in the heart of glyfada, the apartment is moments from the marina, beaches, restaurants, boutiques and cafés that define the athens riviera. the combination of elevation, open views and central positioning creates a residence that remains closely connected to the coastline while enjoying immediate access to the area′s year-round amenities. as the evening light settles over the saronic gulf, the outlook shifts from the greens of the golf course to the sea beyond, bringing a sense of openness that is increasingly rare within the riviera.
