The series stars Jessica Raine as Zoe, whose decision to act on her deepest desires while on the holiday ends up having huge consequences for them all.
The trip might turn out to be a holiday nightmare, but there are some stunning, sun-dappled locations along the way.
So if you're wondering where the show was filmed, and whether you can visit the locations, read on for everything you need to know.
Where was Two Weeks in August filmed?
Shepherd told Radio Times that "we couldn't make it work to shoot it in Greece", but that the replacement of Malta "actually works really, really well".
"The island has a dramatic, rugged landscape and, like Greece, is steeped in thousands of years of ancient history; it truly has everything. Filming there has been wonderful. The island is a character in its own right; it is beautiful, but a bit dangerous. When things get difficult for our characters, it won’t be there to protect them."
"There’s a birthday party scene we filmed early on where we’re all in summer clothes, but everyone’s secretly got thermals on underneath wherever they can fit them," she explained. "We were packed with hot water bottles.
"People didn’t believe me when I called home at the beginning of the shoot and said it was freezing. Thankfully, the weather did change for the better. The locations were stunning - shooting on Gozo was a real treat."
"And so much gets filmed there, massive movies, so it was a hugely experienced crew. It's a beautiful island, the weather is incredible. The days that we had off, there was this great history to go and explore."

Explaining the drama's origins when speaking with Radio Times, Shepherd said: "I wanted to write something about a group holiday, and a group holiday in Greece, specifically.
"It was really far away, so we weren’t in danger, but it struck me as the blackest of comedy that we continued to have dinner while that was going on, and emblematic of what it's like to be alive at the moment – trying to have a good time while bad things are going on.
"And again, they are the most sort of comi-tragic things, because they're people saying, ‘How bad is the political situation in this island? And while it's kind of awful to ask these questions, it's also truthful. You don't want your two weeks spoiled by real things."
Two Weeks in August will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 9pm on Saturday 23 May 2026.
