$1.3 Million Homes in Athens

Voula | €1.3 million ($1.41 million)

A terraced, two-level Athens Riviera penthouse with sea, sunset and city views.

This three-bedroom, three-bath apartment is on the top two floors of a modern five-story building midway between Glyfada and Voula, two development hot spots on the 37-mile strip dubbed the Athens Riviera for its Aegean coast setting. Its neighbors include high-end projects like the new One&Only Aesthesis resort, the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, and 91 Athens Riviera, the area’s first private members’ club. Along with bars, cafes and dining, there are supermarkets, schools, gyms and pharmacies within walking distance of the apartment.

The commercial center of Voula, along with its bustling beach, is less than a mile south. Lake Vouliagmeni, popular with tourists for its mineral waters, spa and restaurant, is about two miles east. Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos is about 15 miles northeast.

The home qualifies a buyer for Greece’s Golden Visa program, which offers Greek residency based on real estate purchases, capital transfers or investments.

Indoors: The apartment’s entrance is on the fourth floor. It leads to an open-concept living-dining space with gleaming wood floors and large windows that provide views of surrounding greenery and rooftops. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. The kitchen features wood cabinets, tiled floors and a walkout to the large balcony. A bedroom on the fourth floor has a walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom with marble floors and glass tiles. A smaller second bedroom opens to the balcony. Upstairs, the principal bedroom takes in sea and sunset views. Painted white, the bedroom features beamed ceilings, two walk-in closets, and an en suite bath finished with glass tiles.

The sellers reside outside of Greece and have not lived in the apartment since 2020.

Outdoor space: The tiled fourth-floor balcony, at about 290 square feet, has recessed lighting and a canopy to protect from the elements. With wood flooring and a four-person Jacuzzi, the terrace on the upper level offers views across the Aegean Sea. Folding glass partitions can separate the hot tub from the rest of the terrace, which is covered by a slatted wood roof. The upper terrace includes two sections totaling about 650 square feet.

Costs: Annual property taxes of €3,500 ($3,795), plus a monthly €150 ($163) maintenance charge.
