10+1 most photographed places in Greece
The Greek mainland and its hundreds of islands have created some of the most popular traveling trends and hashtags on social media, and according to Art Travel, more than 25 million photos of Greece are uploaded every year on all social platforms.
With its endless blue, magnificent views, steep peaks, and picturesque villages, Greece composes the perfect backdrop for many photos that adorn the social profiles of travelers from around the world. Surely, however, just like in every other country in the world, there are some places in Greece that steal the show and have captured the hearts of international tourists.
Here is a list of the 11 most photographed places in Greece:
- Sarakiniko, Milos (Σαρακίνικο, Μήλος)
- Porto Katsiki, Lefkada (Πόρτο Κατσίκι, Λευκάδα)
- Kalabaka, Meteora (Καλαμπάκα, Μετέωρα)
- Corfu Town, Corfu (Πόλη, Κέρκυρα)
- Symi (Σύμη)
- Ladadika, Thessaloniki (Λαδάδικα, Θεσσαλονίκη)
- Pyrgi, Chios (Πυργί, Χίος)
- Old Town, Rhodes (Παλιά Πόλη, Ρόδος)
- Little Venice & Cavo Tagoo, Mykonos (Μικρή Βενετία, Μύκονος)
- Acropolis, Athens (Ακρόπολη, Αθήνα)
- Oia, Santorini (Οία, Σαντορίνη)
The symbol of Greece and the most majestic temple of Athens, the Parthenon at the hill of Acropolis, is one of the biggest touristic attractions in the world and the most photographed monument of the ancient world. The Parthenon, built in honor of Goddess Athena, is also one of the main reasons why tourists choose to visit Athens, as it receives more than 8 million visitors each year.
The fact that Santorini tops this list should come as no surprise, since if someone googles the keyword “Greece” the first set of images they will see, will be from Oia’s famous sunset in Santorini.
Santorini is one of the most photographed and most photogenic islands on the planet, and the most visited island in Europe. The white and blue houses are built in an amphitheatrically form on top of the rocks of the island, which fall vertically into the sea, creating one of the most breathtaking and unforgettable landscapes in the world.
