Overlooking the Aegean Sea, a charming string of coastal neighborhoods form the Athens Riviera, a serene escape from the constant activity of the city center. A selection of upscale hotels line the pristine beaches to the southernmost point of the Attica peninsula. The renovated Four Seasons Astir Palace, once home to foreign dignitaries and film stars in the 1960s, is the most luxurious hotel in Athens, if not the whole of Greece. The Island nightclub brings back the glamour and excitement of 20th-century bouzouki clubs, with names like Melina Mercouri and Stavros Niarchos. Athens is experiencing a renaissance in art, nightlife and design. For a metropolis constantly associated with the past, modern advances in development and culture are sometimes overlooked in favor of the ruins and artifacts of Antic. When, in fact, the juxtaposition only enhances the beauty of both. La Riviera d'Athènes places the old world alongside the new, and a deeper understanding of this ancient capital emerges. With one foot in the past and one in the future, access to the electricity of city life and the tranquility of a seaside resort, Athens cannot be defined in simple terms. You simply have to experience it for yourself. Stéphanie Artarit began her career as a journalist, and worked as a psychoanalyst for many years in Tokyo. She went on to write the novel Variations du diable in 2013. Today, she divides her time between her home in Athens and the Cycladic island of Antiparos, where she also runs her boutique, Petit Tipota, and represents several French fashion brands in Greece. In 2018, she set up her company, The Gang of Style, specializing in designing in-house boutiques for luxury hotels around the world.
