Just 100 metres from sandy Glyfada beach, this beachfront apartment showcases contemporary minimalistic designs that create a calming space to unwind by the sea. The luxurious feel across the space, alongside the laid-back vibe and beachy lifestyle of the Athenian Riviera, create the perfect setting for a relaxing break. 

Soak up the Aegean Sea views from the deck featuring an outdoor lounge area, sunbeds, a barbecue and an alfresco dining spot. When you're not lounging on the beach, this private haven will allow you to chill out in your own secluded corner. After dinner, head down to the beachfront to watch the sunset with a cold beer in hand – there's nothing quite like ending the day with the waves gently lapping into the shore before you. You'll also find a promenade trail right in front of the apartment that continues alongside the sea – offering the best route in Athens for running and cycling. 

On the Athenian Riviera, Glyfada invites you to calm your senses with scenic strolls to the harbour, where luxury yachts sail by and stylish shops, bars, and restaurants embody the art of living. From here, you'll also be just a fifteen-minute drive from the stunning hidden wonderland of Lake Vouliagmeni.

With an open-plan layout and a balcony with a view of the sea, you'll settle into this colourful apartment in no time. Eat dinner with a view of the Saronic Gulf, or take advantage of the large, plush sofa and gather everyone for a movie night in front of the fireplace for a cosy evening. Have your morning coffee on the private balcony and breathe in the sea breeze before you start your day, or round the day off with a glass of wine and let the ocean horizon be the perfect backdrop to a day well spent.

Close to all the essentials you might need during your stay and public transport for days out in the city centre of Athens, this apartment is in the perfect spot for you to get the most out of your Greek holiday. The nearest beach of Glyfada is just a short walk away from your doorstep, not to mention the countless other organised beaches in the Varl-Voula-Vouliagmeni area where you can stroll along the shore, swim in the turquoise waters or enjoy drinks and local cuisine.

The Sight Of Stars

This awesome Athenian Riveria home consists of two luxury apartments each comprising an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space and spacious sea view balconies – perfect for larger groups of family and friends. Boasting sleek, sophisticated interiors – think whitewashed walls, wooden floors and carefully curated shelves – and a luxe location to match, this Greek delight really does tick all of our boxes. A stone’s throw from the marina and a mere 100 metres from gorgeous Glyfada Beach this heavenly home offers unlimited access to everything from seafood tavernas to seaside glamour and everything in between.

You’ll love waking up, stepping directly out onto your private balcony and inhaling lungfuls of salty sea air. Take your morning coffee in the light-filled living room or out onto one of two bigger balconies for more magnificent marina views. While away hours reading, reclining or dosing up on vitamin D before getting your grill on and dining altogether around the wood-topped outdoor table. Post-sundowners, retreat inside for some well-earned chill time on the L-shaped sofa. At chillier times of year, you’ll relish curling up on mountains of cushions in front of the wood burner.

If you fancy getting out and about, enjoy your complimentary picnic on the beach before sea-bathing, sightseeing or both. Whatever you do, you’re bound to fall in the love with all things Greek.

If you'd rather someone else take on the cooking, then there are plenty of lavish seafood restaurants in the surrounding area – Glyfada is well-known for its affluent residents. Days at the beach couldn't be easier, with the golden shoreline just a 300m wander away – paddle in the crystal clear water, or kick back on the sand with a great novel.

While we love the inside of this home, the true star of the show is the huge balcony which warps around the entire apartment, creating lovely outdoor spaces for relaxing and enjoying alfresco suppers and drinks. From here, you’ll not only catch glimpses of the glistening sea, but you’ll also be able to revel in the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings.

Discover why Glyfada’s nickname is the Hellenic Hamptons from this contemporary apartment. This beachy suburb on the Athenian Riviera boasts palm-tree-fringed roads, sparkling coves and bays, and upscale boutiques.

Stepping inside, you’re met with a beautiful airy space, brightened by floor-to-ceiling windows. The sunlight reflects off the pearly white surfaces – it’s particularly special in the morning. The light naturally guides you out to the sunny balcony for your coffee, overlooking the twinkling sea, preparing you for the day ahead.

Explore the stylish thoroughfare of Kyprou, bursting with glamorous stores, buzzy bars, delis, and small galleries. On the other hand, you can find a culture that’s intrinsically Greek – playing backgammon in waterfront cafes, dining in unpretentious souvlaki joints, and exploring farmers' markets. From your conveniently located apartment, you can experience it all with ease.

Perhaps best of all is the beautiful sandy beach, just a five-minute walk from the apartment. Take the coastal walk along the stretch of shimmering sea before finding the perfect spot to fan out your beach towel.
