Greece is truly amazing for travel photography fans.
So many picturesque islands clustered in various regional groups, plus Athens and the mainland, including the Peloponnese peninsula. We’ve been to Greece several times now, but in many ways we’ve really only scratched the surface.
The gallery below is just a starting point for this page, with images from Santorini and a few from Naxos and Mykonos. New additions will include more photos from these islands plus the islands of Aegina, Poros, Hydra, and Crete. I’ll include some from Athens as well.
Some of my personal favorite Greece travel photography subjects include: Santorini sunsets, island coastline views, tourists with interesting backdrops, Greek food and wine, and the many ‘stray’ cats and dogs that live on the islands. These animals are often fairly tame, even quite friendly, and make great photo subjects in their everyday surroundings.
If you like these images, you may also want to check out my Italy travel photography and Croatia travel photo galleries as well.
Click on any photo for a larger ‘lightbox’ view with image title and captions. Use the lightbox navigation icons to move between images or start a slideshow, which will auto-cycle through all photos in the gallery.
You can also purchase photos and share them from within the lightbox view.

Shortly after sunset, we photographed this agile black cat jumping from one wall to another.
