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
cavaliere is a two-level maisonette positioned within one of glyfada’s most established residential neighbourhoods, occupying the first and second floors of a newly built development. designed for contemporary year-round living, the residence balances generous internal volumes with a sense of warmth and privacy, combining clean architectural lines with carefully selected natural materials.
the home unfolds across two levels connected by a private internal lift, with the principal living spaces arranged around a striking double-height volume that draws natural light deep into the interior. full-height glazing creates a strong connection with the surrounding greenery while enhancing the sense of openness that defines the residence. throughout the property, a restrained palette of timber, stone and marble introduces texture and warmth, creating a calm and cohesive atmosphere.
the main reception area is conceived as a single flowing space where living, dining and kitchen areas connect naturally without compromising definition or comfort. the scale of the interiors is balanced by thoughtful proportions and material continuity, allowing the residence to feel both expansive and highly liveable. large sliding openings connect directly to the private outdoor areas, extending the living spaces beyond the interior envelope and encouraging a seamless relationship between inside and outside during the warmer months.
accommodation comprises three en suite bedrooms, each designed with privacy and comfort as central considerations. large openings maximise natural light throughout the day, while the consistent use of natural materials creates continuity between the private and social areas of the home. the bathrooms continue the same refined architectural language, combining marble, stone and carefully integrated detailing to create spaces that feel timeless rather than trend-driven.
beyond its architectural qualities, the residence has been designed to support everyday living with equal attention to practicality. underfloor heating, integrated climate control, smart home technology and advanced security systems are incorporated discreetly throughout the property, preserving the clarity and simplicity of the design.
the private terrace and plunge pool form a natural extension of the interior living spaces, creating a sheltered outdoor environment within the urban fabric of glyfada. landscaped planting and the low-rise character of the surrounding development contribute to a quieter atmosphere than is often found so close to the centre of the athenian riviera. nearby parkland further enhances the sense of openness, allowing light and greenery to remain an integral part of the setting.
located within easy reach of glyfada’s marina, coastline, boutiques and restaurants, cavaliere combines the convenience of a central riviera address with the privacy and proportions more often associated with a standalone residence. the result is a home defined not by individual features but by a sense of balance, light and architectural clarity that feels equally suited to permanent living or seasonal use.
