THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS IN ATHENS

Exploring a new city is always exciting and if you’re like me, it’s fun to hunt for the best spots to snap photos. During my short visit to Athens, I created a list of some great spots to go for photography. Many of these locations also have historical significance, so it’s a two-for-one!

  1. AEROPAGUS HILL

  • For great views of the Acropolis

  • I used my drone to capture a few of these photos… (not sure how legal that was but it was far enough away from tourists).

2. PANATHENAIC STADIUM ATHENS

  • A great place to visit because of the Olympic history

  • We went to the very top row to get a view of the whole stadium

  • Ticket required for entry

4. A FOR ATHENS BAR & RESTAURANT, ROOFTOP

  • We didn’t make it here, but it’s located right in Plaka and has incredible views of the Acropolis. Head up to the rooftop bar for the best views.
