Moving away from the buzzing centre, another option is the Athens Riviera by Vouliagmeni offering a selection of Resorts right by the sea such as the upcoming Four Seasons, the quaint Margi boutique hotel situated in a quiet residential area attracting a crowd of sophisticated travellers, all just a short distance away from the affluent Glyfada region with an animated centre of cafes, shops and trendy restaurants.  An exclusive collection of high-end venues can be privatized and transformed accordingly; such as Vouliagmeni Lake, with warm waters all year round and a fantastic dining setting, the all time favourite Island, a hotspot club with endless views of the Aegean with a choice of function areas, and other trendy venues by the Asteras Glyfada complex for any kind of catered event by the sea. For an artistic twist to your celebration consider the outskirts of Athens with venues like Vorres,  a cultural foundation and museum with its charming gardens, perfect for a cocktail reception, followed by dining indoors surrounded by a notable collection of paintings. A family owned estate, Pyrgos Petreza, in the area of Spata provides a rustic alternative for a memorable gastronomical event.
