EDITORIAL

Dear esteemed readers,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the fourth edition of Art de Vivre, published in a year defined by two milestones for our company. Greece Sotheby's International Realty celebrates ten years—a decade that has seen Greece take its place among the world’s foremost luxury destinations. Sotheby's International Realty, the world’s leading luxury real estate brokerage and our home throughout, celebrates half a century.

Both of these milestones come at a time when the very idea of luxury is changing.

Luxury today is measured in experience, in time, in freedom—qualities that come naturally in Greece. Here, a way of life shaped by land and sea feels more valuable than ever.

That perspective takes many forms, and this fourth edition brings several of them together.

John Dragnis, head of Golden Yachts—the only Greek shipyard among the world’s leading superyacht builders—joins us to discuss superyacht living today.

At the same time, The Bettencourt Affair, Thierry Klifa’s Cannes-premiered film starring Isabelle Huppert, features one of the homes we represent.

Aristides Dallas, among the most influential architects of his generation, designs homes shaped by the Greek landscape. In Athens, the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation, which opened in 2019, places the city within the broader history of modern art, with works by Monet, Cézanne, Picasso, Pollock, Bacon, and others.

Our catalogue brings together Greece’s finest homes, from iconic waterfront villas and Athenian Riviera properties to captains’ mansions on the islands and stone cottages across the mainland. For our tenth anniversary, this is our most considered selection yet.

Our thanks go to our clients, who have been part of this journey, to our colleagues across the global Sotheby's International Realty network, and to our team, whose work is reflected on every page. We look ahead with confidence that Greece will continue to take its place among the world’s most sought-after destinations.

With warm regards,

SAVVAS SAVVAIDIS President & Chief Executive Officer

Greece Sotheby’s International Realty

THERE ARE DESTINATIONS THAT DEFINE A SUMMER —AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE THAT DEFINE AN ERA.

The

Golden Pulse of the Aegean

Overlooking the Mykonian harbor, Cavo Tagoo stands as a defining expression of contemporary Greek luxury. For more than four decades, the privately owned property has shaped the visual identity of modern Mykonos, blending Cycladic architectural heritage with an international design sensibility.

Sculptural white volumes, clean lines, and a masterful interplay of light create a seamless dialogue between structure and landscape, where the Aegean is ever-present. Just minutes from Mykonos town, the hotel offers both proximity and seclusion—a balance that mirrors its aesthetic philosophy: refined yet effortless.

Infinity pools stretch towards the horizon, while interiors favor texture, craftsmanship, and quiet sophistication over excess. Here, space unfolds as a sequence of lived moments, where privacy and sociability coexist naturally.

Cavo Tagoo is not simply a destination, but a composed expression of Mediterranean “Αrt De Vivre.”

VOICES OF AFFLUENCE

A STRATEGIC DIALOGUE WITH GLOBAL CAPITAL

First UHNWI Survey on Greek Luxury Real Estate

Luxury real estate in Greece has long been described through imagery: light tracing stone walls, villas suspended above the Aegean, summers that feel never-ending. Yet markets are not sustained by atmosphere alone. They require capital, conviction, and clarity.

With Voices of Affluence, Greece Sotheby’s International Realty undertook the first transaction-validated exploration of the country’s luxury residential landscape. Drawing from €550 million in completed sales and insights from more than 250 ultra-high-networth individuals within a proprietary international network, the study offers something Greece has historically lacked: perspective grounded in both experience and evidence. What emerges is not merely data; it is positioning. Greece today holds a defined position within the Mediterranean luxury arena, with values in destinations such as Mykonos, the Athenian Riviera, and Corfu standing confidently alongside Mallorca, Ibiza, and Tuscany. Although its narrative has shifted from “emerging” to “established,” Greece represents only a fraction of total Mediterranean transaction volume. Pricing has converged more rapidly than scale, an

imbalance that represents not a limitation but a strategic opportunity.

International buyers now represent the majority of demand, supported by a resilient domestic base that provides continuity. The capital assessing Greece is internationally mobile and inherently comparative with Italy, France, and Spain consistently under consideration. Greece is no longer positioned as an alternative, but as an equal within the Mediterranean luxury dialogue.

Mediterranean Market Size Comparison Greece's smaller transaction scale reflects growth potential as international perception continues to strengthen.

Price Alignment, Volume Potential

Across the global Sotheby’s International Realty network, comparative benchmarks confirm what market participants increasingly sense intuitively: Greek prime destinations now operate within the same value framework as their Mediterranean peers. The difference lies not in desirability, but in depth.

Markets such as Mallorca or Ibiza benefit from decades of institutional layering and carefully calibrated supply refinement. Greece’s luxury landscape, while architecturally and geographically exceptional, remains more intimate in scale, with fewer transactions establishing benchmarks and scarcity carrying greater weight.

As Savvas Savvaidis, President & CEO of Greece Sotheby’s International Realty, states:

“This is the first time the Greek luxury residential market has been analyzed through a combination of real transaction data and survey research. The findings confirm that Greece has achieved price levels comparable to mature markets such as Mallorca and Ibiza. Our share of the Mediterranean market remains at 2%, highlighting the substantial growth potential ahead. The completion of the urban planning and zoning framework, together with improved market transparency, will create the conditions needed to attract institutional investment into luxury residential developments.”

The implication is clear: Greece has achieved valuation credibility within the Mediterranean hierarchy. What will now define its next chapter is refinement through structural clarity, transparency, and disciplined investment.

of international respondents place Greece alongside established Southern European markets such as Italy, France, and Spain.

The Emergence of the Romantic Affluent

Beyond the metrics, a distinct profile emerges. The contemporary luxury buyer in Greece is not drawn to spectacle, but to substance. Deliberate, internationally literate, and quietly discerning, this cohort—typically in their mid-fifties, with acquisition budgets between €1 million and €5 million—approaches property with both emotion and reason.

They seek proportion rather than excess. Architecture that belongs to its landscape. Residences that feel rooted rather than imposed. Their decisions are rarely impulsive. They are layered; informed by lifestyle, heritage, mobility, and long-term perspective. Greece resonates not because it competes in scale, but because it offers authenticity within a stable European framework.

We describe this buyer as the Romantic Affluent: individuals for whom property is not merely an acquisition, but an extension of identity—a chapter in a broader personal narrative shaped by place, permanence, and meaning.

From Brokerage to Stewardship

As Greece’s luxury market evolves, so too must the role of its advisors. Access alone is no longer sufficient. In a Mediterranean landscape defined by comparison and mobility, capital does not merely seek opportunity; it seeks insight shaped by benchmarking, regulatory fluency, generational perspective, and strategic timing. By publishing structured market intelligence, Greece Sotheby’s International Realty marks a deliberate shift. The firm does not simply facilitate transactions; it contextualizes them.

Luxury today demands counsel. The question is no longer whether Greece belongs within the Mediterranean hierarchy. That position has been secured. The more consequential question is how to engage with its next chapter: with discernment, foresight, and advisors who understand that true luxury lies not only in acquisition, but in alignment with time, place, and long-term vision.

GOLDEN YACHTS

JOHN DRAGNIS IS A LEADING GREEK SHIPPING ENTREPRENEUR AND THE CEO OF GOLDENPORT GROUP, AS WELL AS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND GOLDEN YACHTS. THROUGH HIS WORK, HE HAS HELPED POSITION GREECE AS AN EMERGING FORCE IN THE GLOBAL SUPERYACHT CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.

The evolution of Golden Yachts has unfolded alongside the gradual maturation of superyachting in Greece. How would you describe this journey, and which key turning points do you believe reshaped the country’s role within the global superyacht industry?

The evolution of Golden Yachts has closely followed the growth of the superyacht sector in Greece. In its early years, Greece was seen primarily as a cruising destination rather than a hub for large-yacht construction and management. A major turning point came when Golden Yachts undertook increasingly complex and ambitious projects, demonstrating that Greece could deliver expertise, craftsmanship, and reliability at an international level. Alongside improvements in infrastructure and regulation, this helped reposition Greece from a scenic destination to a respected player in the global superyacht industry. Golden Yachts stands as proof that a Greek shipyard can build at the highest level.

Modern superyacht living is about enjoying exactly what you want!

Through significant investment, G.Y. brings together the finest partners, craftsmen, and specialists for every project, and serves as an invitation for the world to notice that excellence in superyacht construction already exists in Greece. By combining state-of-the-art infrastructure with a team of highly skilled professionals, Golden Yachts consistently delivers projects that meet the highest global standards, showcasing that world-class design, engineering, and execution can thrive on Greek soil.

Superyachts built in Greece by Golden Yachts have received international recognition and awards. In your view, how does this influence the global perception of Greece as a center of expertise and high-quality yacht construction?

International awards for yachts built by Golden Yachts play a decisive role in reshaping Greece’s global position. They demonstrate that Greece is not only a country with a long-standing tra-

dition at sea, but also a place where complex, design-led and ultra-premium superyachts are conceived and delivered to the highest international standards. This recognition is further reinforced by Golden Yachts being the only Greek shipyard admitted as a member of SYBAss, the international association of the world’s leading superyacht builders—an acknowledgment that honors not only the company itself, but the Greek shipbuilding industry at large. Taken together, these distinctions reposition Greece’s maritime DNA as contemporary and innovative, rather than purely historical. In a traditionally risk-averse industry, where the global market has long regarded Italian and Dutch shipyards as the benchmark, such distinctions provide powerful third-party validation, enhancing Greece’s credibility and

prestige and firmly positioning it at the forefront of the global superyacht construction market.

Clients who choose a superyacht belong to a highly discerning, international audience. What defines today’s superyacht clientele, and what are they seeking beyond size and visual impact? Today’s superyacht clients are highly discerning international owners who understand that quality is expected at this level. What truly matters is how scale is used to create memorable and unique experiences—whether family time, exploration, wellness, creativity, or quiet escape—rather than simply visual impact. Modern yachts are increasingly designed around daily life on board, starting from a deep understanding of owners’ routines, habits, and values. Privacy and autonomy are equally essential,

A gleeful land, a vibrant sea, a pulsating, translucent air andglee.

with discretion and invisible crew workflows allowing owners complete freedom and peace of mind.

In the world of superyachting, how is luxury defined today? Is it a matter of technical excellence, experience, freedom, or a combination of all these elements?

Today, superyacht luxury is defined not by a single feature but by the seamless combination of technical excellence, thoughtful design, and personal autonomy. Technical excellence is a given. Flawless engineering ensures effortless performance, while carefully crafted, precise interiors—minimalist and harmonious—ensure that nothing feels excessive, yet everything feels considered.

Above all, true luxury lies in the freedom to explore, disconnect, or adapt the yacht to any lifestyle, with balance, authenticity, and sustaina-

bility at the core. Modern superyacht living is about enjoying exactly what you want, effortlessly and in harmony with your surroundings.

Do you believe that Golden Yachts is setting a new design benchmark in the superyacht world? How would you describe this contemporary design approach, and what truly differentiates it?

Yes, I believe Golden Yachts is setting a new benchmark in superyacht design. What truly differentiates us is our focus on each owner’s needs, combining contemporary style with Mediterranean elegance. Our award-winning yachts, from Optasia in 2019 to Malia in 2024, are the result of collective work with leading designers like Studio Vafiathis and Massari Design, bringing together functionality, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality.

BASIL AND ELISE GOULANDRIS FOUNDATION IN ATHENS

BY CHRISTOS ZAMPOUNIS

MONET, DEGAS, GAUGUIN, VAN GOGH, CÉZANNE, BRAQUE, PICASSO, MIRÓ, KANDINSKY, POLLOCK, GIACOMETTI AND BACON CONNECT THE CAPITAL OF GREECE WITH THE INTERNATIONAL ART SCENE AT THE BASIL & ELISE GOULANDRIS FOUNDATION IN ATHENS.

When Basil Goulandris first saw the light of day on September 6, 1913, on the island of Andros, his future had already been set in motion. Shipping had been the traditional profession of his family since the 19th century and he, along with his brothers, could not deviate from that path. Skilled and insightful, in 1950 he took over the management of the family business, Orion Shipping and Trading Company. It was then and there that his passion for collecting artworks began.

In 1957 he attracted the attention of art-lovers and connoisseurs when he bid the record-setting amount of $255,000 for an artwork by Gauguin. He and his wife, Elise, shared the same passion and regularly acquired Impressionist as well as contemporary artworks.

In 1979 they decided to establish the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation, and during

that same year they inaugurated the Museum of Modern Art in Andros. However, the richness of their collection could not be contained within the walls of the small island museum, even though they added a new wing in the ‘80s. Consequently, they commissioned Chinese American architect Ι. M. Pei, renowned for the Louvre Pyramid, to design a Museum in Athens. The first location of choice was in the city center next to the Byzantine Museum. Yet the discovery of the remains from Aristotle’s Lyceum prevented its construction there. It took three more decades of bureaucratic obstacles and legal battles before the Foundation’s Museum in Athens was finally able to open its doors to the public. In the meantime, its founders had passed away: Basil in 1994 and Elise in 2000.

Elise’s niece, Fleurette Karadontis, and Kyriakos Koutsomallis, who took over the Foundation’s management, hosted the Museum’s grand opening on October 1, 2019, at the new eleven-story building overlooking the Acropolis. The opening was attended by the President of Greece, the Prime Minister, ministers, and members of Greece’s financial, social, and artistic elite. It is an exemplary museum that contains an amphitheater, a library, restaurants, and an area for temporary exhibitions. The Holy Face of Jesus (La Santa Faz) by El Greco is the first work visitors encounter as they enter the building on Eratosthenous Street. It is the only Renaissance work in a room with modern paintings. However, it conveys a powerful symbolic meaning relating to Hellenism, since El Greco, as his name implies, was originally from Crete. Next to it are several excellent paintings by Van Gogh.

“Basil and Elise didn’t have children. They treated their paintings as if they were their own children”

It would be impossible to recount, within the limited scope of an article all the treasures the couple collected; therefore, I will mention only a few that are truly unique: Francis Bacon’s Three Studies for Self-Portrait, Rodin’s Eternal Springtime, Paul Klee’s Dynamics of a Head, Roy Lichtenstein’s Nude with White Flower, and Picasso’s Nude Woman with Raised Arms

As Fleurette Karadontis, the Foundation’s president, aptly noted, “Basil and Elise didn’t have children. They treated their paintings as if they were their own children.”

LA FEMME LA PLUS RICHE DU MONDE

BY CHRISTOS ZAMPOUNIS

A VILLA WITH SPELLBINDING VIEWS OVER THE AEGEAN SEA. AN UNLIKELY PAIR, TEETERING BETWEEN FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND THE INTOXICATION OF FREEDOM. A CINEMATIC WORK, FILMED EX¬TENSIVELY IN GREECE, THAT REVISITS WHAT FRANCE ONCE CALLED "THE SCANDAL OF THE CENTURY.”

Roughly an hour from the heart of Athens, it offers breathtaking sea views.

When Marie-François Banier, a dandified photographer of effortless charm, set out to photograph Liliane Bettencourt, the heiress to the L’Oréal cosmetics empire, it was 1987. Two decades later, her daughter filed suit against him for abus de faiblesse—the exploitation of vulnerability. The charge was grave. Over the intervening years, she claimed, he had extracted from her mother the staggering sum of €1 billion in gifts, properties, and cash. A French court initially sentenced him to three years’ in prison and ordered him to pay €158 million in damages. Following an agreement between the parties, the amount was reduced to €375,000, plus a four-year suspended sentence.

The affair convulsed France, not least because it brought together elements seldom found in a single case: colossal wealth (Bettencourt was consistently ranked by Forbes as the richest woman in the world), buried family secrets, including her father’s collaboration with the Nazis, and allegations of political financing at the highest level. It was inevitable that cinema would be drawn to such potent real-life material.

In 2024, acclaimed director Thierry Klifa— known for Les Yeux de sa mère (starring Catherine Deneuve) and All That Divides Us, among others—set out to bring The Bettencourt Affair to the big screen. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival the following year before opening in French cinemas, where it recorded

Critics responded warmly, praising Klifa’s elegant, deeply humane approach and singling out Isabelle Huppert’s commanding performance in the leading role. The dialogue, too, has drawn attention. “Thanks to you, it’s as if I am living again,” says Marianne to Pierre-Alain (names changed for legal reasons), radiant during one of their Mediterranean interludes.

The destination is never named on screen, yet connoisseurs will recognize the unmistakable light of Attica. After months of location scouting, the French production, together with the director, selected Villa Eleonore on the Athens Riviera. Roughly an hour from the heart of Athens, it offers breathtaking sea views—even from within the residence itself—alongside a private beach and, naturally, a pool. It is here that many of the film’s most pivotal scenes unfold, tracing the charged bond between two

utterly different people: a relationship of allure and, perhaps in its own way, love that unsettles the heiress’s carefully orchestrated existence.

Pierre-Alain is witty, capricious in the manner of a diva, and disarmingly indiscreet, voicing whatever passes through his mind, most often barbed observations about those around him. He is also insatiably acquisitive. Marianne, meanwhile, discovers at last what it means to delight in life beyond the confines of her gilded cage, and grants him, with unguarded generosity, whatever he desires. Their story carries the semblance of a romance. It is not.

Coming soon to Greek cinemas.

In Greece, the most extraordinary moments rarely follow a plan. It’s a place where spontaneity is part of the rhythm—where the right call at the right moment can change everything, and someone always seems to know someone.

Somewhere in Greece, there is always a better table, a quieter harbor, a house not yet on the market, or a door that opens for the right name.

ZGAD exists within this world: a discreet network of insiders who know the country intimately and, more importantly, of people who make things happen. For a small international circle of people who return to Greece time and again, every journey is carefully orchestrated behind the scenes so that every every detail unfolds seamlessly. The itinerary is only the beginning. What happens next is often the best part.

Access, however, is another matter. ZGAD membership is rarely discussed and even more rarely offered. It comes only through a trusted introduction, shared between those who understand that the best travel secrets are never widely told.

ARISTIDES DALLAS ARCHITECTS

ARISTIDES DALLAS IS A GREEK ARCHITECT AND THE FOUNDER OF ARISTIDES DALLAS ARCHITECTS, A PRACTICE KNOWN FOR ITS CONTEXT-DRIVEN APPROACH TO CONTEMPORARY DESIGN. HIS WORK EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE, CREATING RESIDENCES THAT ARE DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS.

1. ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY

In contemporary architecture, a tendency toward uniformity is often observed. How do you preserve your own architectural identity while avoiding the notion of a “global style”?

We don’t believe in architectural identity as a fixed style. We believe in method. Each project begins with the place itself: the landscape and the person who will live in it. When architecture is approached as a response to specific conditions rather than as a reproduction of images, the logic of a “global style” is naturally avoided. In my view, it’s the consistency of our thinking and process that creates a recognizable identity—not the repetition of forms.

2. INTERPRETING THE LANDSCAPE

Projects such as Petra Mare and Cascadia demonstrate a strong, meaningful relationship with their natural environment. How do factors such as topography, light, and materials inform your architectural decisions?

For us, the design process begins with the landscape as a guiding framework—not as a mere backdrop. Topography shapes the overall spatial strategy, light is treated as a key driver of composition and experience, and materials are chosen based on durability as well as their relationship to place and time. Our aim is not to impose on the environment, but to integrate seamlessly within it, in a manner that feels both coherent and inevitable. When a project is perceived to genuinely “belong” to its setting, we consider it to have fulfilled its intent.

We believe in method. Each project begins with the place itsel.f

3. SIMPLICITY AND THE LIVED EXPERIENCE

Your work is marked by restraint and a quiet sense of confidence. How central is simplicity to your work, and how does it shape the experience of living in these spaces?

For us, simplicity is fundamental—and in daily living, it translates directly into quality of life. It creates environments that feel immediately welcoming, without visual noise or unnecessary complexity, allowing residents to settle in naturally. We design homes that perform effortlessly in everyday use, where light, proportion, and materiality are carefully calibrated to foster comfort, familiarity, and a sense of ease. Architecture is not meant to impress in a single moment, but to grow better over time—through use, repetition, and the relationship that develops between people and space. This sense of discreet, understated luxury is, in our view, the most meaningful form of comfort.

4. SOURCES OF INSPIRATION

Are there architects or artists who have influenced the way you perceive space, light, or materials?

Our work is shaped through constant engagement with the international architectural discourse, as well as with broader cultural practices beyond architecture itself. We are particularly interested in the global shift from architecture as an object to architecture as an experience and a way of living. Within this context, influences arise equally from other disciplines, such as the visual arts, photography, and cinema, where light, time, and atmosphere are handled with precision and restraint. We are not guided by specific individuals, but by practices that prioritize silence, duration, and the essential relationship between people and space. We see our architecture as an active contribution to this international dialogue, aiming to offer projects that are deeply rooted in their place while, at the same time, engaging with a contemporary, global understanding of how we inhabit space.

5. LOOKING AHEAD

As international interest in Greek architecture continues to grow, what do you see as the most significant challenge—or opportunity—for architects working in Greece today?

Greece stands at a pivotal moment. Increased attention is creating substantial opportunities, but it also brings the risk of superficial, shortterm development. The essential challenge is to produce architecture with depth—work that endures over time and delivers genuine, lasting value to both place and property. For us, the future lies in quality and longevity, not in volume or the pursuit of quick visual impact.
