Southern Athens Suburbs

EXPLORE SOUTHERN ATHENS SUBURBS

South Athens, often referred to as the 'Athenian Riviera'; is a prestigious coastal region, featuring upscale neighbourhoods, sandy beaches, marinas, and vibrant nightlife. Major areas include Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Alimos, and Palaio Faliro, known for luxury real estate, modern infrastructure, and easy access to the city center. Stretching along the coast south of the nation’s capital, the Athens Riviera is a blend of Mediterranean living and urban sophistication. This 43-mile (70 km) shoreline from Palaio Faliro to Cape Sounio has evolved from a local secret into one of Europe’s most up-and-coming coastal lifestyle destinations. It offers well-established neighbourhoods like Vouliagmeni and Glyfada, as well as developing areas like the Ellinikon Project. The Ellinikon is a new world-class destination. This new ‘smart’ and ‘green’ city on the Athens Riviera constitutes the largest urban regeneration project in Europe. With views of the blue of the Aegean Sea and breathtaking sunsets, The Ellinikon is the ultimate year-round destination
