There are amazing Instagram photo spots in Athens. This city in Greece is gorgeous and has many Instagrammable places!

I traveled to Athens many times. And it's incredible how many pretty spots the city has! There are colorful places and places where the architecture is impressive.

If you're going to Athens, you should take your camera with you for sure!

1. Parthenon

One of the best Instagram photo spots in Athens is the Parthenon on the Acropolis! The Parthenon is an ancient and famous temple dedicated to the goddess Athena (from which the city derives its name).

After a pretty long climb, you will reach this point. Seeing it is amazing and capturing it is incredible.

Furthermore, it's very interesting to learn about the history of Athens at this place.

2. View from the Acropolis

If you're on the Acropolis, you don't only have a view of the ancient buildings.

You also have a great view of the city of Athens! This is gorgeous and definitely one of the most photogenic spots in Athens as well.

3. On top of the Lycabettus Hill

Isn't this view breathtaking? I really love it! If you're going to climb the Lycabettus hill, the view will definitely not disappoint you.

You can see many famous buildings in Athens from there.

For example, you have a view of the Acropolis. And besides that, you can also see the Temple of Zeus and other places.

Because of this wonderful view, it's one of the best Instagram photo spots in Athens.

But it's also fun to visit this place if you don't want to take pictures at all. There's a lovely cafe where you can have a drink while enjoying the view. And if you don't want to climb stairs, there's also a funicular.

4. The Acropolis Museum

The Acropolis Museum has an amazing view of the Acropolis. For that reason, it's definitely worth taking some photos there.

But besides that, it's also one of the best museums in Athens. I'd highly recommend going there and have a look at all the ancient objects!

5. The Acropolis from below

If you don't want to climb the Acropolis, or you just want to see another pretty place, then I'd recommend taking a photo at this spot.

It's amazing to capture the Acropolis from below!

6. Pittaki Street, Athens

Do you like colors? Do you like pastel colors? And do you like umbrellas? If you answered yes to all these questions, then Pittaki Street is one of the best Instagram photo spots in Athens for you!

The decorations change sometimes, so it doesn't always look exactly like the photo below. But Pittaki Street is always very beautiful.

7. A for Athens Cocktail Bar

The view from this bar is so beautiful because you see the Acropolis and many Greek houses!

I love A for Athens Cocktail Bar so much. It's not only photogenic, but it's also the perfect place to have a drink in the evening!

8. Anafiotika

Anafiotika is a very cute neighborhood in Athens where you can find this spot.

In this neighborhood, you can also find many other pretty places.

Furthermore, there are lots of typical Greek houses!

9. Rocks in Front of the Parthenon

The first spot is also on the Acropolis, but at this spot, you can capture the Parthenon from the rocks in front of it.

I love this spot too since you can sit here. Also, it's a bit further away so you can capture more of the building.

10. The Ancient Agora of Athens

The last spot is the Ancient Agora of Athens.

This spot is truly beautiful, especially when you make sure that one of the red trees is also in your photo!
