Moving to Glyfada with the Family: Housing, Schools, and Daily Life

A New Chapter: From Crete to the Athenian Riviera

Moving to a different region of Greece is a significant event that requires a comprehensive approach. For a family, it is essential to evaluate not only property features but also the availability of educational institutions, the quality of daily infrastructure, and leisure opportunities.

Alexey Fatuev, owner of AILIT Group, who has nine years of experience building villas and houses on Crete, decided to trade the island lifestyle for the more vibrant urban environment of Glyfada. This transition allowed him to maintain proximity to the sea while gaining access to the developed infrastructure of Athens.

Why Glyfada?

Glyfada combines the features of a resort town with metropolitan comfort. The main advantages of the area include:

• Infrastructure: Accessibility to shops, restaurants, medical facilities, and sports clubs.
• Atmosphere: Maintaining a Mediterranean pace of life while being close to the business center.
• Active Leisure: Availability of facilities for golf and sailing.

Education and Family Life

One of the key factors in choosing a place to live was the children’s education. Alexey’s daughters began their studies at the St. Lawrence international school. Such an environment fosters English language learning and adaptation to a new social setting.

Choosing a home for a family is inextricably linked to school logistics and the convenience of daily routes. Property evaluation in this case goes beyond square meters and window views, focusing on how well the property meets the family’s real needs.

Experience That Helps Clients

Personal relocation experience allows Alexey Fatuev to better understand the needs of AILIT Group clients who are looking for property not only for investment but also for permanent residence. Understanding how an area functions “from the inside”—from everyday issues to leisure organization—is an important addition to the company’s professional construction expertise.
