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
pello occupies the second floor of a contemporary residential building in central glyfada, combining clean architectural lines with a quieter, more restrained approach to city living. currently under construction and scheduled for completion in december 2026, the apartment has been designed around proportion, natural light and material consistency, creating a residence that feels calm and composed within one of the athens riviera’s most active coastal districts.
extending across 156 sqm (1,679 sq.ft.), the apartment is arranged on a single level with a fluid layout that connects the principal living spaces directly to a broad 40 sqm terrace. floor-to-ceiling glazing draws daylight deep into the interiors throughout the day, while wide openings allow the living and dining areas to extend naturally outdoors during the warmer months. from the terrace, the surrounding cityscape softens into glimpses of the coastline and the wider riviera beyond.
the interior palette is minimal yet warm, defined by soft stone tones, natural timber flooring and carefully integrated lighting. the kitchen follows the same architectural language, with dark cabinetry and pale surfaces creating contrast against the quieter neutral backdrop of the main living spaces. throughout the apartment, the emphasis remains on clarity of form and continuity between materials rather than decorative excess.
all three bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms and have been positioned to maintain privacy from the main entertaining areas. the principal suite combines textured wall finishes, concealed storage and soft natural light, while the bathrooms continue the restrained aesthetic through pale marble surfaces, integrated fixtures and clean geometric detailing. attention to scale and proportion gives the interiors a sense of quiet balance, reinforced by the apartment’s consistent architectural language.
the building itself introduces a sculptural contemporary façade to the neighbourhood, with layered terraces, planted edges and strong horizontal lines that soften its overall scale. beneath the architectural precision, the residence incorporates a+ energy efficiency, underfloor heating, smart home functionality and high-specification construction standards intended for year-round living.
located approximately 450 metres from the centre of glyfada, pello sits within easy reach of the district’s marinas, beaches, cafés and boutiques, while remaining set back from the busiest commercial streets. the surrounding area combines the atmosphere of a coastal neighbourhood with the convenience of central athens living, where mornings begin close to the sea and the city remains accessible throughout the year.
