About the Work

The Athens Riviera is a collection of picturesque seaside neighborhoods overlooking the Aegean Sea, providing a peaceful retreat from the bustling city center. Visitors can choose from a range of high-end hotels that line the pristine beaches along the southern coast of the Attica Peninsula. The Four Seasons Astir Palace, a luxurious hotel with a rich history of hosting foreign dignitaries and film stars in the 1960s, is considered the epitome of luxury not only in Athens, but also in Greece. The Island nightclub is reviving the glamour and excitement of the bouzouki clubs of the 20th century, frequented by iconic figures like Melina Mercouri and Stavros Niarchos.

Athens is currently experiencing a cultural renaissance in art, nightlife, and design. While many associate the city with its ancient ruins and artifacts, its modern strides in development and culture are often overlooked. The contrast between the old and the new only serves to enhance the beauty of both. The Athens Riviera offers a unique juxtaposition of ancient and modern, urban and beachside, providing visitors with an unparalleled experience that cannot be defined in simple terms. To truly understand and appreciate Athens, one must experience it firsthand.
