athens riviera
the athenian coastline stretches from its southern suburbs in the saronic gulf all the way to the temple of poseidon in cape sounion , with an unending string of a-class beaches, busy marinas and trendy neighbourhoods in between.
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
calla is a refined second-floor residence within a contemporary serviced development in the centre of glyfada, combining the atmosphere of the athens riviera with the ease of fully integrated residential amenities. positioned just moments from the coastline and glyfada’s central square, the apartment balances urban convenience with a calmer residential setting defined by landscaped terraces, controlled access and generous communal spaces.
the architecture of the building is characterised by clean horizontal lines, limestone-toned façades and deep terraces softened by planted borders and filtered light. large openings connect the interiors with the surrounding greenery while allowing the apartment to remain private despite its central position. the communal areas have been designed with the same restrained aesthetic, creating continuity between the residences, reception spaces and outdoor pool areas.
inside, the 210 sqm residence unfolds through a spacious open-plan living and dining area where warm oak flooring, soft natural textures and carefully integrated lighting establish a composed and understated atmosphere. floor-to-ceiling glazing draws daylight deep into the interior throughout the day, while the neutral material palette allows the architectural proportions and natural light to define the character of the space. the kitchen combines dark timber cabinetry, stone surfaces and integrated appliances in a layout that feels discreet yet highly functional.
three bedrooms are arranged to maximise privacy and comfort, each continuing the apartment’s restrained material language. the principal suite opens directly toward the terrace through wide sliding doors, introducing a softer morning light into the room. bathrooms are finished in natural stone and timber accents, with concealed lighting and minimal detailing reinforcing the calm continuity of the interiors.
calla forms part of one of glyfada’s first serviced residential developments, designed around the idea of permanent living supported by elevated hospitality-style services. residents have access to a fitness centre, health club, outdoor swimming pool, concierge assistance, reception services and 24-hour security. smart-home integration, underfloor heating, storage areas and private parking complete the practical infrastructure of the residence.
its position places the apartment approximately 300 metres from the beach and only moments from glyfada’s boutiques, cafés, marinas and restaurants. despite this immediate access to the energy of the neighbourhood, the development maintains a quieter rhythm through its landscaped communal areas and carefully considered architectural layout.
completion is scheduled for december 2026.
