Although the Grecian islands such as Mykonos and Santorini are popular among vacationers seeking coastal luxury, the Athens Riviera also offers a comparable, if less well-known, attraction. Athens, often seen dordle as a brief layover on the way to the islands, has frequently been categorized as a short visit that fulfills a travel need. Instead than focusing on the beaches of Milos and Ios and the nightlife of Mykonos and Santorini, it provides trips that delve into history and explore the Acropolis.

However, Astir has revolutionized our perception of vacationing in mainland Greece during the last five decades. Astir is located on a peninsula near Athens and includes the city core and major beach area at Vouliagmeni. at the 1960s, Vouliagmeni became known as the equivalent of The Hamptons in Athens. From a geographical perspective, Vouliagmeni has a resemblance to Montauk, since it extends outside into a narrow strip of land adorned with beaches, and is located a short distance from the main city.

The development of the region started in 1954, and by August 1960, Astir Palace was inaugurated as an opulent resort including 150 rooms, cabanas, and a thriving beach culture. The mansion, crafted by renowned Greek architect Kosta Voutsinas, radiated the sophisticated charm of the seaside Athens riviera that it aspired to imitate. The Athens Riviera emerged as a high-end tourist destination, coinciding with the rise of Positano as a popular location on the Amalfi Coast.
