Kaos has arrived on Netflix, with it both delivering on the drama and singlehandedly reviving our love of Greek mythology. A dark comedy unwinding the prophecy that binds Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) and three mortals, the series brings to life the stories of The Gods in the most delightfully sharp, witty way.
Rather than Mount Olympus, the backdrop for the series is established as Krete – a modern day take on Greece’s Crete, though we can in fact confirm that filming did not take place in the country.
So where was Kaos filmed? Here’s everything to know about the Netflix show’s filming locations.

Where was Kaos filmed?
Andalusia, Spain
Much of Kaos was filmed during 2022 in the Andalusia region of Spain, particularly around Costa del Sol. As the name suggests, Costa del Sol is beloved for its sunny climes, with the region averaging 300 days of sunshine a year, making it an ideal spot for near guaranteed decent weather when filming.
Specific filming locations for some of the stunning panoramic shots in the series include tourist hub Marbella as well as Cádiz, Seville, Los Montes and Velez.
Malaga (Heraklion in the show) also provided a backdrop for Kaos, specifically Calle Parras which the production team transformed by painting murals of Poseidon and other scenes from Greek mythology onto, with filming here taking place post-pandemic in July 2021.
But before you start planning a trip to visit the site to see the graffiti for yourself, it’s worth noting that the walls were restored to their former glory promptly following filming, so sadly you won’t see any remnants of Kaos should you visit.
Street sequences in Malaga were also done in the Pablo Ruiz Picasso promenade and the El Ingenio shopping centre in Vélez-Málaga, while local media reported that many of the traffic scenes were shot in the Alameda de Colón and chases took place in La Palmilla and Lagunillas.
