I read a half dozen articles on Kaos filming locations this morning, and none of the others even comes close to the excellence of your piece! Thank you! I could definitely see myself building a tour around the locations in Spain and Italy.

Now, if you could find the cliff where Prometheus was chained, that would really be something. ;-) And I wonder where Orpheus’ house was filmed? I loved some of those shots.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you, you made my day! - As for the Prometheus cliff, we reckon it was filmed in the studios using a green screen.

I am scouring the internet to find out where Villa Thrace (Orpheus and Roddy's apartment) was - I just love the interior so much, I wondered who styled it or if it has its own Instagram account! Can't find anything though, so would love it if the gods could provide ;-)

Thank you for the research. I’m watching the show and leave for a short trip to Spain soon. I thought some of the places looked like where I would be visiting, and I was right!

I'm pretty sure the scene in episode 4, in which Zeus and Dionysus are talking, was filmed in the neighborhood of San Lorenzo in Rome.
