    Dear Alise

    There are too many options like the villages you are looking for in Greece. Given the fact that a lot of them are in the south-most part of Europe offers the expected warm and sunny weather.

    See 4 ideas but don’t hesitate to sent me a full brief so we can suggest many other options.

    Dear Kasia

    Here are a few words about our company [ATHENS CENTRAL FILM PRODUCTIONS].

    Since Greece offers an ideal shooting environment with exciting locations, great weather, frequent and convenient flights plus the lowest rates in Euro zone, we have worked hard to establish a system that understands the needs of international film productions and offer top English speaking artistic and technical staff.

    Collaborating with 60 production companies from 25 countries, we provide full production services (scouting, casting, location permits, crew, equipment, transportation, accommodation and post production – if needed) for commercials, TV programs and feature films to production companies from UK, USA, Japan, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, China, etc.

    Regarding locations Greece can offer exceptional options which are far beyond from what someone is expecting from us. Yes, there are plenty of sandy beaches, white and blue villages by the sea, but you should also consider Greece for generic European looking city, modern apartments, trendy shops, café, as well as unexpected locations like: sand desert, lunar landscape, medieval castles, cowboy ranch, etc… Our locations database includes more than 2,500 locations / 150.000 pictures all over the country.

    We maintain also the biggest on-line archives for casting with more than 17,000 faces.

    You may visit our web site http://www.centralathens.gr where you can see samples of our recent productions, newsletters, as well as behind the scenes videos.

    Don’t hesitate to contact me for anything.

    in reply to: Late July Golden wheat fields

    Dear Alex

    You can find both locations and casting of what you’re looking for in Greece and July/Agust are the harvest months.

    I attach some (not in harvest season though) picture references so you can get a feel.

    As always nature locations should be scouted as close as possible to the shoot time, so if you think that Greece is in your range, let me know so we can set it up.

    Hi Rita

    We have established in Athens a full “package” of top artists (directors, dops, food stylists, mock up, liquid, cream experts, etc) and high end equipment (slow motion cameras, motion controlled rigs, special lights, etc); working for many countries at the lower rates in euro zone.

    See some samples…

    Another option in Greece could be in Crete island. There you can find a fully textured “light” village in Chania and a imposing castle in Fragocastelo.

    Still I attach only 4 pictures and wait for your call to submit more.

    One breathtaking option could be Santorini island in Greece; has all the “light” options in alleys, backstreets, etc as well as sinister buildings in a 16th century desrted village.

    I attach here only 4 pictures but I can sent more in your personal mail.

    Just let me know if you need them.

    Dear Achal

    anything that you are looking for can be found in Athens. Don’t forget that due to the Olympics 2004, there are 3 billion euros worth of sports arenas and stadiums designed by famous architects.

    Send me a board or script and I will reply with several location references.
