Director Argyris Papadimitropoulos posted an image on his Instagram account to announce the commencement of filming. Let’s explore the scenic filming spots of the movie one by one.
Athens, Greece
The capital of Greece, Athens, is the primary filming location of the movie. The city is considered to be one of the oldest cities in the world. It has a rich history known as the birthplace of democracy. It is a well-known hub for arts and philosophy. Apart from this, the city is also a popular tourist destination, and thousands of tourists visit the city every year to experience its ambiance, architecture, beaches, and gastronomy.
The beach scene at the beginning of the movie was filmed at a nudist beach, while other sequences were filmed across various spots in the city. Some popular productions filmed in Athens include ‘Jason Bourne,’ ‘Worlds Apart,’ and ‘Window to the Sea.’
Antiparos, Greece
Antiparos, an island situated in the Aegean Sea and part of the Cyclades chain of islands, is another destination the cast and crew visited for shooting. The island is known for its flora and fauna, shopping streets, castles, and beaches. Filming took place in the cobbled streets of the island and other parts.
Rhodes, Greece
Rhodes (dubbed “The Island of the Knights”) is the largest island in the Dodecanese group of islands and one of the most popular tourist spots in Europe. Colossus of Rhodes, a 33 meters (108 feet) high statue of the Greek God Helios, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World before being toppled over during the earthquake of 226 BC. The Old Town of the city of Rhodes is also a World Heritage Site. The shooting of ‘Monday’ also took place at the Amada Colossos Resort in the Faliraki village of the island.
