Filming locations of the Greek Netflix series ‘Maestro in Blue’
Have you seen ‘Maestro in Blue yet’ yet? It is the first Greek-spoken series that has been released worldwide through Netflix. In the series, we see some beautiful Greek landscapes, villages and beaches. I would totally understand it if you’re reading this blog right because you want to book your next holiday to these exact spots. Therefore this article is going into the most important filming locations of the Greek Netflix series ‘Maestro in Blue’. I do include their locations on Google Maps as well.
Where – on which Greek island – is ‘Maestro in Blue’ filmed?’
Maestro in Blue is mainly filmed on the tiny but beautiful Greek island of Paxos. Paxos is part of the Ionian island group (on the west side of Greece close to Italy) and situated between the islands of Corfu and Lefkada.
In the series, several visits are made to the nearby island of Corfu. So Corfu is one of the filming locations as well.
Finally, some scenes are shot in Athens. However, in this blog I will not go into them. Apart from 1: The family house of Klelia, her parents and grandmother they shot in is actually near Athens, not in Paxos. It is the Sinterina Estate!
How to get to Corfu and Paxos?
Paxos does not have an airport. You can only reach it by boat from either Corfu, Lefkada or Igoumenitsa on the mainland. The easiest way is through Corfu, which has an international airport from which you can be (with Kamelia Lines) picked up and brought directly to the port where the ferry to Paxos leaves. But in my opinion you shouldn’t do that, and stay a few days on Corfu as well!
One of the ferries of Kamelia Lines (Lefkada Palace) also connects Paxos to Lefkada and the other Ionian islands.
From Igoumenitsa to Paxos, Kerkyra Lines has a connection.
From Corfu, you can also do a 1-day boat tour to Paxos and Antipaxos to see the highlights, without staying over on Paxos.

Where to stay on Paxos?
- Paxos Villas: half an hour walk from Gaios, so outside the hustle and bustle but still central. With an UNBELIEVABLE beach view!
- Alia Studios: newly renovated studios in the heart of Gaios, that a
- Sweet Dreams Maisonette: Unbelievable value for money, so friendly priced and still renovated, almost on the harbor front of Gaios and a few minutes walk to the nearest beach.
- Villa Alexandros: Looking for a private villa? Villa Alexandros could be a contender. It is close to Loggos village but you can still relax in total piece and hang at the pool if you don’t want to go anywhere.
Filming locations of Maestro in Blue on Paxos
Let’s get into the prime filming locations of Maestro in Blue on Paxos island:
Gaios
In the series, we mainly see Gaios which is the main village of Paxos. We see the picturesque harborfront. This is where Klelia and Orestis first meet in Paxos, but also the place where Klelia repeatedly has drinks with her friends (most probably at Themellio bar), before hasting off to Orestis’ car after seeing him passing by. The pink-painted churches of Agia Triada and Analipsi we see are also located in Gaios center. Gaios is also the place where the end scene takes place, when Mrs. Haris sings her song for the festival on the stone pier we see in the picture below.
Lakka
Another village of Paxos, Lakka, is used as filming location of the clay-colored neoclassical ‘school’ and rehearsal place.
Viewpoint of the cliffs
When Sofia (the mother of the family) secretly meets with the doctor, we see them on a beautiful viewpoint above some cliffs. This is the viewpoint of Ypapanti’s cave.
Erimitis & Voutoumi beach
Klelia and Orestis sneak away to the beach a lot in Maestro. One of the beaches that was used as a filming location most definitely is Erimitis beach which can be reached through a short hike. It is one of the must stunning and also raw beaches of Paxos. Another beach we see them on is Voutoumi beach, on Antipaxos. You can get here by boat from Paxos.
Blue Caves
On one occasion Klelia and Orestis sneak away by boat, but have to be rescued by the port police because they can’t return in the rough seas. At this moment, they have sneaked away to the Blue Caves. In one of these caves, there is a beach inside the cave (as you can see on the picture) and that’s what we also see in one of the scenes.
Church of Hypapanti: Mrs. Harris’ wedding & Klelia driving on the scooter + Chapel of Agios Spiridon
Mrs. Harris’ (in her younger years) wedding, where we see the guests dancing while her former lover arrives, takes place at the Hypapanti church. We see the same spot used as a backdrop several times during the series, for instance when Klelia is driving her scooter in the first episode. But also in the scene just before Mrs. Harris’ ex-lover arrives at the scene of her wedding.
The chapel of Agios Spiridon also features in the movie during a few boat rides as it is on the side of the water.
The grave of Dionysus, lover of Mrs. Harris, where we see her talking to him and drinking a glass of wine, is located at the church of St. Nicholas at Magazia.
Taverna Bournaos
When Orestis brings Klelia home we see them stopping (the blue car and the Vespa) in front of Bournaos taverna. This is also the location where Antonis once performs and sings a song.
Filming locations of Maestro in Blue on Corfu
When Klelia (and Klelia and her father) and Orestis are visiting Corfu, we clearly see them visiting the following places in the old town of Corfu:
Cavalieri Hotel
When Klelia meets Orestis for the first time, she is on a visit of Corfu with her father, Fanis for an opening ceremony. This all takes place inside the Cavalieri Hotel in Corfu town. It also has a stunning rooftop that everyone can go up to for dinner and drinks to enjoy the view of Corfu town.
Museum of Asian Art & Old Fortress in Corfu town
When Orestis is checking out the Corfiot musicians for the festival, while finding out that Klelia has also come to Corfu, this is at the front of the Museum of Asian Art in Corfu town. We also see the Old Fortress of Corfu as a backdrop later in this episode.
Spianada & Liston
The series also shows us Klelia and Orestis walking at the Liston promenade (it reminds of Paris because it is supposed to look like Rue de Rivoli), and we see the nearby Spianada square.
Saint Spyridon Church
Corfu also features Orestis on a rooftop. This scene gives a clear view of Corfu town’s most important church, the church of Saint Spyridon.
NOS café, bar on the stairs in the alley of Theotoki Michail & Plous Bookshop
A few bars and cafes in Corfu are visible in Meastro, but the one that is most recognizable is NOS café, which is on the square next to Saint Spyridon church. We also see Orestis drinking a coffee and swiping on a dating app before meeting Klelia. This cafe is not listed on Google Maps but its location in Corfu town is in the Theotoki Michail alley, right here.
Orestis also visits Plous Books & coffee.
