Luxury Villas for Rent on Athens Riviera
Seaside villas where ancient Athens meets the shimmering coast
The Athens Riviera is where the city meets the sea, a coastline of clear coves and marinas that runs south of Athens, through Glyfada and Vouliagmeni towards Cape Sounion. Our luxury villas on the Athens Riviera give you a coastal base for swims and days in Athens, with beach access and city travel times depending on the villa you choose. Spend a morning among ancient ruins, then return for an afternoon swim in Lake Vouliagmeni, where warm springs keep the water inviting for much of the year. At sunset, follow the coast road to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion. With the airport close by, the Riviera is also a natural place to begin or end your journey through the Greek islands.

Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and the Coast
Glyfada has a marina, shopping streets and restaurants that stay busy late into the evening. Further south, Vouliagmeni has rocky coves, clear water and Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural lake fed by warm springs that stays swimmable for much of the year. Follow the coast road and you reach Cape Sounion, where the Temple of Poseidon stands above the sea at sunset.
Athens on Your Doorstep
The Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum and the Plaka neighborhood make a lovely day out from the Riviera. Travel time depends on your villa’s location and traffic. Orestis and the team can arrange a chauffeur for the day, private guides for the archaeological sites and tables at Athens restaurants, so you can spend a day in the city and be back by the sea for sunset.
Before or After the Islands
Many guests start or end a Greek trip on the Riviera. Athens International Airport is close, flights to Mykonos and Paros leave from there, and ferries leave from Piraeus and Rafina. We plan the full route, with transfers between the villa, the airport, the port and your island villa or yacht.
