Athens-based angrydrone created this excellent reel of their professional video production highlights.  Most of the footage was shot on Athens Riviera, a stretch of Saronic Gulf coastline extending south from the Greek capital city, down the western side of the Attic Peninsula.  The area is known for its famous beaches and epic nightlife, as well as its yachting scene, one of the most well-known in the entire Mediterranean region.  Ride along for epic views of scenes ranging from a megayacht to the beach town of Vouliagmeni.

Brand-new contributor Dronetherapy brings us this outstanding drone video of one of the most famous sites of the Antiquity: the Acropolis of Athens, Greece.  The Acropolis is an ancient fortress complex situated on a rock plateau about 150 meters (just under 500 ft.) over the Greek capital city.  Consisting of the Parthenon temple and several outlying building, the complex was built during the Golden Age of Athens in the 5th century BC, under the direction of the great Athenian leader Pericles .  

Check out this amazing drone video of the mountains north of Athens, Greece, compliments of contributor Paschalis. Mount Parnitha is the highest mountain in Attica, the peninsula on which the Greek capital city sits.  The mountains figure prominently in Greek history, and at one time was home to numerous fortresses protecting Athens from invasion from the north.  The highest peak is around 1.4k meters (around 4.6k ft.).  This drone video was filmed using the DJI Mavic Pro Zoom model.

New AirVuz contributor tasfot_m2pro brings us another stunning drone video from the Athens Riviera, the fabled stretch of beach towns and marinas stretching south from the Greek capital city on the Saronic Gulf, on the western side of the Attica Peninsula.  This video was filmed in the city of Vouliagmeni, which lies roughly halfway between central Athens and Cape Sounion at the southern tip of Attica.  Backed by the Hymettus Mountains, Vouliagmeni is considered one of the most exclusive of the suburbs of Athens.  

Check out these drone views of the Olympic Stadium of Athens, Greece, compliments of Drone.as.  It's part of the Athens Olympic Sports Complex in Marousi, northeast of the center of the Greek capital city.  The stadium was the primary venue for the 2004 Summer Olympics.  The stadium is also called Spyros Louis, in honor of the winner of the first modern Olympics marathon, which was held in Athens in 1996.  The stadium was originally completed in 1982 but underwent substantial alteration (including a renaming) in connection with the Games.

Given the Greek origins of marathons, it's no surprise that they are regular events there.  In this video, contributor Aerial_Rizikianos used a drone to film the 29th Athens Marathon, the country's most prominent run.  As you might imagine, the notion of this being the 29th run does not count the historical run which started it all: the 26 mile covered by the messenger in 490 BC to let the people of Athens know that their city-state had decisively (and surprisingly) defeated the Persian army under King Darius I at the Battle of Marathon.

AirVuz contributor and pilot zisimos zizos brings us this excellent drone video of a well-known beach area on the Athens Riviera, a legendary stretch of coastline on the Saronic Gulf south of Athens, Greece.  Mikro Kavouri lies roughly in the middle of the Athens Riviera, which stretches from the suburbs immediately to the south of Athens to Cape Sounio.  The beach is part of the city of Vouliagmeni, which is considered the heart of the Riviera and is home to some of the highest real estate prices in Southeastern Europe.

Standing a modest 338 ft. (103 m) above the streets of Athens, the Athens Tower enjoys the distinction of being the tallest building in Greece.  Seen here in this drone video by a1r_m0ses_b, the 28 story tower was completed in 1972, having been conceived during a relatively short-lived window in which tall buildings were permitted in the Greek capital; since this period (as before it), buildings in excess of about 100 ft. (around 30 m) in height are prohibited in order to preserve the look of one of the world's most historic cities.  

Check out this drone video of the Greek seaside town of Vouliagmeni, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot angrydrone.  Vouliagmeni is a southern suburb of Athens, about 20 km (12 mi.) southeast of the Greek capital city.  It's part of a stretch of coastline called the Athens Riviera, which runs south of Athens along the Saronic Gulf.  Sandwiched between the sea and the Hymettus Mountains, the city lies at the epicenter of Greece's internationally renowned sailing and yachting scene.  

AirVuz contributor Zisimos Zizos brings us this eerie drone video of one of the main suburbs of Athens, Greece during the Covid-19 novel coronavirus pandemic in the Spring of 2020.  Glyfada is one of the main towns of the Athens Riviera, the stretch of Saronic Gulf coastline south of the Greek capital city.  Home of some of the most popular restaurants and nightclubs in Greater Athens, it appears to be virtually empty under the social distancing measures imposed by various governmental ayuthorities to combat the spread of the deadly virus.  

The Acropolis of Athens is probably one of the world's top two ancient ruins sites, along with Rome's Colosseum.  Seen here in this outstanding drone video by AirVuz contributor pasxox30, the Acropolis complex sits atop a flat rock formation that rises about 150 meters (just under 500 ft.) over the Greek capital city.  Consisting of the Parthenon temple and several outlying building, the great landmark was built in the 5th century BC on the initiative of Pericles, who led Athens through much of its Golden Age.  

Get a rare look at the snow-covered Acropolis in Athens, Greece in this excellent drone video by a1r_m0ses_b.  While small amounts of snow in the Greek capital are not uncommon, a strong storm in late January of 2022 produced an unusual amount of the white stuff across the eastern Mediterranean region.  In the video, you'll climb the rocky outcrop on which the ancient citadel sits.  Reaching the top, you'll fly over the Parthenon, the temple which is the centerpiece of the Acropolis and which was constructed in the 5th century BC.

Take in these beautiful sunset views of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, compliments of AirVuz contributor a1r_m0ses_b.  One of the most well-recognized landmarks of the Antiquity, the acropolis is an ancient fortress which sits atop a rocky hill in the center of the Greek capital city.  Its most notable building, the Parthenon, was built during the rule of Pericles in the 5th century BC.  It was used for military purposes as recently as the 1820's, during the was in which the modern state of Greece emerged from Ottoman control.
