TOUR ITINERARY
“Did you know that Attica (‘Attiki’ in Greek) derives from the ancient word “Akti-ki” meaning a land with many “aktes”, (shores)? Why not explore them with a private photographer for an alternative discovery of Athens?
We photograph the inspiring Temple back dropped by the Mediterranean golden sunset from the spot where geography and history combine to give you a timeless photo memory.

You will enjoy a private mini road trip along the photogenic Athenian coastline with seaside resorts, mountains, a mineral lake and sandy beaches with blue-flag-certified clean waters.
Combined with the ideal Mediterranean climate, the Athens Riviera makes you feel the island magic that many people come to Greece for, without having to set foot on a ferry!

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we head to Lake Vouliagmeni; a geological phenomenon, a collapsed cave with underwater tunnels leading so far back under the mountain that they’ve never been fully mapped. Fresh spring and saltwater mix to create a mineral-rich environment!
A longer stop for a dive in the lake is possible upon an arrangement. Enjoy the healing properties of the natural springs! They supply the Lake with water temperatures between 22 to 29° Celsius (71° to 84° F) throughout the year!

Lastly, we head to the spectacular Doric Temple of Poseidon, the 5th-century archaeological site resting on the very top of Cape Sounion, dominating the blue sea and skyline. The sea views here are tremendous; the perfect spot to worship the god of the sea and build his temple.

We got so much out of that experience. To this day, when I need to remind myself of ways to look at shooting different, I go back to the post I made of that workshop. I recently did that for a trip we are taking in SE Asia. I decided to check and see if you were still working and am pleased to see that it appears you are doing well and continuing to inspire other amateurs who seek to learn more about photography and Athens. Wishing you all the best and letting you know your influence lingers much longer than you might think. MichaelPosted on Marcelo CajasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vasilis/PhotoTourismAthens is a true professional of photography. I reached out to him for a corporate event. He delivered everything we agreed on, and what I really appreciated was that he pushed us more to get the best results possible. We received the pictures almost immediately after the event and they looked fantastic. Be it for a corporate event in Athens, or tourism pictures, you are in safe hands with Vasilis. I recommend his services.Posted on Sheila HartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My entire Photo Shoot experience with Vasilis receives 5 stars !! his communication skills, professional standards of excellence & friendly personality immediately puts you at ease, resulting in Magical Moments captured on film, his local knowledge guides you to the best places to be at the right time, so you have multiple options & photo's to choose from, despite the early crowds his patience paid off by getting photo's with perfect backdrops, I highly recommend Vasilis for creating lifetime memories !!Posted on Lorenzo GiorgioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vasilis is a blessing to the world of photography. I booked a private tour for a surprise engagement in Athens, and I was looking online for someone who could inspire me to make the big move, without being too cheesy, classic, or obvious. For several days, I couldn’t really find what I wanted. Then I found Vasilis’ website, and I knew he was the one who could make it happen. From the moment we met, the connection was real, it felt like spending time with a longtime friend. After several amazing shots, he brought us to the most beautiful parts of the city, surprising us with historical gems and making the whole experience truly unique. I’ve been to Athens a few times, but I had never seen the city from such an interesting and beautiful perspective. We laughed, played with different shots and lights, all under Vasilis’ great inspiration. He seemed to find the perfect photo at every corner. The grand finale came when we went to the top of a hill, where the last shot of the day was planned. Vasilis went above and beyond to make this a truly special moment in our lives. We will always be grateful for the day we met him and for his incredible talentPosted on David LoneraganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vasilis was very helpful in getting to the best location and gave lots of helpful advice on composition and camera settings. Highly recommended.Posted on Chi NguyenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vasilis is really nice guy and know well point to take nice photo
Posted on Rhea KVerified Absolute master of photography - highly recommend Vassili is an amazing photographer who delivered more than expected. He has a great eye, knows all the hidden spots around the Acropolis and made my kids very much at ease, so that the photos looked very natural. He is a master of lights and we got amazing colours.Posted on 361yeecVerified Mission Impossible accomplished It was a pleasure working with Vasilis. He was very prompt with replies and suggested great locations for our family of 5. It is never easy to get perfect family photos with 3 teenage boys and 1 middle aged dad who are not keen in posing for photos. But Vasilis accomplished the impossible. On the day of our shoot, he brought his assistant who helped him with lighting and watched our bags and jackets. Our photos turned out beautifully. We all looked very natural and not posed. Vasilis really captured all of us in our true essence. On top of that, we got our photos download link the very next day. He provided us with one iink for low resolution for social media and one high resolution link for printing. I especially love the composition of his photos. They all look like magazine covers. Even my boys were very impressed by his work and downloaded some photos on their phones. Besides taking beautiful photos, he also entertained us with interesting story of Athens. I would recommend him 10/10 times to anyone looking for a photo tour in Athens.Posted on Erma CVerified A+ Photographer I booked a senior session for my daughter. We were visiting Greece from the United States and were only going to be here 8 days. He recommended 1 1/2 hour sessions. He brought his assistant to help and she was also amazing and told us how she was studying photography. The turnaround time was amazing and before and after leading up to the appointment he was very fast to respond. I received my daughter’s pictures and I literally had to process all of them because they were all breathtaking! Vasilis is remarkablePosted on SheilaVerified Five Star Photo Shoot My entire Photo Shoot experience with Vasilis receives 5 stars !! his communication skills, professional standards of excellence & friendly personality immediately puts you at ease, resulting in Magical Moments captured on film, his local knowledge guides you to the best places to be at the right time, so you have multiple options & photo's to choose from, despite the early crowds his patience paid off by getting photo's with perfect backdrops, I highly recommend Vasilis for creating lifetime memories !!Posted on AudreyVerified Excellent shoot. Full of great photos tons of knowledgeable for a budding photographer. Vasilis was very knowledgeable, patient, and passionate throughout our session. As a beginner, I truly appreciated his guidance and the many helpful tips he shared. We captured excellent professional photos, and his friendly attitude made the experience even better. He thoughtfully provided hot coffee and bread, which was a nice touch on a cold day. The climb up Philopappos Hill was absolutely worth it, offering stunning views and a memorable experience. Overall, it was an enjoyable, educational, and inspiring time that exceeded my expectations and left me feeling more confident and motivated in photography.Posted on Lorenzo GVerified One of the best experiences we have ever done.

We will always be grateful for the day we met him and for his incredible talentPosted on tntbennettVerified Do this! You won't regret it! I cannot say enough great things about this photo session! Not only do you get outstanding photos of your memories in Athens, you also go to places you may not have even thought about going! They know the nooks and side streets for the best visuals. Our photographer was so nice and very knowledgeable about the area. I would recommend this tour 1000%! The photos were magical!Posted on anne fVerified Professionalism, experience, trust, punctuality, passion. We engaged Photo Tours in Athens to document our UEFA Annual Conference, and we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of their work. Their professionalism was of the highest standard, and the entire team demonstrated remarkable dedication and genuine passion for their craft. I can confidently and wholeheartedly recommend Vassilis Germanis and his team for any professional photography needs. We wish all the best to Photo Tours in Athens!Posted on Greg HVerified Going the extra mile!! Vasileios took on a job for me (I'm in Australia, he's in Athens) that involved photographing a piece of public property so that I could blow up the result and make a nice print for a friend. He really bought into what I was trying to do, was genuinely interested in my story about why i wanted what i did, did lots of legwork to make it happen before I'd even paid him and advised me on the best way to get what I wanted. To say I'm thrilled with the result is an understatement!!Posted on Andrew WVerified Engagement proposal photoshoot tour From the first point of contact with Vasilis to organise the engagement proposal photoshoot, I immediately felt everything was going to be in safe hands. After reading Vasilis' past experiences of doing photography I felt reassured that nothing would go wrong. Vasilis has excellent communication skills with me via email in the build up to the engagement proposal photoshoot. During the engagement photoshoot itself, Vasilis had clearly great knowledge of Athens and took my fiancée and I to different spots and avoided the big crowds. We felt totally relaxed during the photoshoot and at times it didn't feel we were actually being photographed. This all comes down to Vasilis for making us calm at the beginning before the walking photoshoot tour and explaining to is what will happen. Vasilis has a great personality and very friendly which made us feel that we knew each other for a long time. From all the scenery during the walk to a sunset proposal it was all absolutely brilliant. We would highly recommend Vasilis for anyone who wants to have a photoshoot in Athens. The picture quality of the photos were absolutely magnificent and we're delighted with them. We hope to catch up with Vasilis in the future either in the UK or Athens or somewhere around the world! Andrew and Ania
