Boost your Athens corporate video production with an expert crew
What’s your company’s go-to location for shooting corporate video content? This is a relevant question in today’s fast-paced and competitive media landscape. If you’re based near the Mediterranean, you can base your video production operations in the Greek capital of Athens, taking advantage of sunny skies and unmissable cultural landmarks.
The idea of Athens is tied up with antiquity and enlightenment. Filming among the millennia-old ruins, both well-known sites and hidden treasures, can give your videos a unique, classical atmosphere. If you’d rather focus on modern sights and sounds, you can travel to the bustling, modern downtown. Choosing Athens as your shooting location lets you blend these ancient and modern aesthetics at will.
Whether you’re climbing to the Acropolis, reserving time in a studio or filming B-roll of the crowds in Syntagma Square, it pays not to go it alone. Having a professional video crew from Crews Control on your side will help you thrive in Athens from the moment you arrive.
Bringing in experts to work on your Athens video production
Local experience is a key ingredient in running a smooth video shoot. This is why Crews Control works with crews who are knowledgeable about their home regions, allowing your internal stakeholders to proceed with confidence. In Athens, these experts can help with everything from permitting to navigating traffic, or even recommending the best restaurants.
In a city renowned for its ruins and museums, it pays to partner with local professionals who understand both which sites hold the best treasures and what you have to do to apply for a filming permit at each location. Crews Control experts can remove any ambiguity and give you the logistical advice to ensure your video content looks its best.
In addition to providing this local intelligence, your Crews Control team can come through with technical and creative filmmaking know-how. This support is valuable today, as audience expectations around corporate video content become ever more demanding. You can unlock a new level of production excellence without committing extra money to permanent salaries or in-house gear purchases.

Filming in Athens: Views from our crews
Athens has been a go-to destination for millennia. How can you see the city in a unique light? With a Crews Control team on your side, it’s not hard to unlock the charms of the Greek capital, whether you’re focusing on iconic sights or taking a quirkier approach. The following are a few facts to know about filming in Athens, including some insights from Director of Photography Apostolos Nikolaidis.
- Permitting takes time: While many types of filming are achievable without a film permit, there are some exceptions. For instance, if you’re hoping to film around a museum, a monument or an archeological or historic site, an application is necessary. You’ll have to plot out your filming schedule well in advance to receive permission.
- Outdoor filming season is long: One of the advantages of Athens’ Mediterranean location is its forgiving weather. From March to November, the city tends to be sunny and warm, perfect for outdoor shooting. The winter from December through February isn’t as cold as in other parts of the world, but it does tend to be cloudy.
- Varied transport options are available: It’s not too difficult or expensive to park your car or van in Athens, though it pays to remember that rush hour traffic could throw your shoot off schedule if you’re not careful. Perhaps the most reliable way to get around the city is by train, on the red, green or blue metro line.
- Sporting locations dot the city: As the traditional home of the Olympic Games, Greece has a long sporting tradition. Present-day playing fields can also serve as great filming locations. For example, the Seoplia neighborhood is home to an impressive basketball court paying tribute to Greek NBA star and league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, which was used as a location to produce a movie about his life.
From the ancient to the modern, Athens is a hotbed of visually compelling sights. Once you and your Crews Control team start filming there, you’ll surely discover enough exciting new locales to fuel your video creation for years to come.

I’ve been producing and directing videos for Broadcast (NBC/ABC/CNN/C-SPAN) and Corporate for over 30 years – and Matthew and Dan were one of the best crews I have EVER worked with.
Thanks
Dan
The footage was well done.
Just got out of the edit. Tim did a great job. Considering the talent we gave him to work with, I would go as far as to say he’s a bit of a magician.
Thanks for the help!
Jim
Thanks for the great shoot yesterday.
Everything was great and I wanted to let you know that our Executive Producer said the footage we got from the different regions was the best footage he had ever seen come from remote crews that we didn’t have control over. That is a great compliment coming from him.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to working with you again!
