I flew all the way to Greece just for these 10 photos

This guide is absolutely worth it for a dedicated trip to capture stunning Greek moments! Here's a practical guide with the latest information, covering both classic spots and hidden gems: Top 3 Must-Shoot Landmarks: 1. Santorini Oia Sunset - Best angles: Three Blue Domes Church in Oia (near Mama Thira Taverna) – arrive before 7am for crowd-free shots; Sky Lounge terrace offers panoramic caldera views (arrive 2-3 hours before sunset). - Hidden gem: Visit the alleyway shop with an elderly artist who hand-paints customizable Greek alphabet fridge magnets. 2. Zakynthos Shipwreck Beach - Take a boat to the Blue Caves for dreamlike turquoise waters – drone shots recommended. Book early as 2025 bookings have surged 44%. 3. Athens Acropolis Parthenon - Golden hour: Summer sunsets around 7:30pm when the temple gilds (view from Philopappos Hill). Enter before 7am to avoid crowds – wear anti-slip shoes for the marble paths. Hidden Photogenic Spots: - Mykonos Windmills: Capture colorful Little Venice windows with waves, backed by 16th-century windmills. - Delphi Temple of Apollo: Philosophical vibe with "Know Thyself" inscribed pillars against mountain vistas. Foodie Checklist: - Cliffside dining: Fira's Cliff View Café (iced latte with caldera views) and Lotza (grilled octopus + seafood pasta, ~€30/person). - Street eats: Athens' O Thanasis (lamb skewer wrap + Greek salad €16.40) and Atlantikos (€12 fried squid – great value). Practical Tips: - Transport: Rent compact cars (e.g., Hyundai i20) for Santorini's steep alleys; Athens metro day pass €1.70. - Safety: Beware pickpockets in Syntagma Square/Plaka – keep valuables close. - Etiquette: Avoid waving/excessive staring; respect religious significance at Delphi's "Navel of the World." Every frame in Greece is postcard-perfect – grab your camera and this guide!
