TOUR ITINERARY
Day One
3 hours
Acropolis: Step back in time as you ascend to the summit of this UNESCO World Heritage site, where the Parthenon, a symbol of ancient Greece’s architectural prowess, awaits. Marvel at the intricate marble carvings and learn about the myths and legends that shroud this ancient citadel.
Philopappos Hill: From the Acropolis, we will venture to Philopappos Hill, offering panoramic views of the city below. Named after the monument dedicated to Gaius Julius Antiochus Epiphanes Philopappos, a prince of the Kingdom of Commagene, this hill provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Evening of the same day:
3 hours
Zappeion Building: Admire the neoclassical elegance of the Zappeion, a stunning structure nestled within the National Gardens of Athens. Built in the late 19th century, it has served as a venue for numerous historic events, including the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.
Plaka Area: Lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets of Plaka, Athens’ oldest neighborhood, where Byzantine, Ottoman, and Neoclassical influences converge. With its charming cafes, vibrant tavernas, and quaint boutiques, Plaka is a photographer’s paradise.
Anafiotika Neighborhood: Transport yourself to the Greek islands as you wander through the enchanting alleyways of Anafiotika.
An island-look-alike settlement built by settlers from the island of Anafi in the 19th century, this picturesque neighbourhood offers a glimpse into traditional Cycladic architecture.
Mars Hill (Areopagus): Conclude your journey atop Mars Hill, where ancient Athenian philosophers once gathered to discuss ideas and debate philosophy. With commanding views of the Acropolis and the city below, it’s the perfect spot to reflect on the timeless legacy of Athens.

Day Two
3 hours
Ancient Greek and Roman Agora: Embark on a journey through time as you explore the ancient agora, the bustling heart of ancient Athens. From the stately ruins of the Stoa of Attalos to the iconic Temple of Hephaestus, each stone whispers tales of commerce, politics, and daily life in antiquity. The ancient agora was not only a marketplace but also served as the center of Athenian democracy, where citizens gathered to debate and vote on matters of state.

Halar Mirani2024-12-27 Vasilis [the photographer] is an experienced guide and expert at capturing the perfect moment for us even when the conditions were not ideal. The photos came out very dramatic and captured the beauty of Athens and Acropolis extremely well. It was a paparazzi shot and he helped placing my partner (now fiancée) at the ideal spot with Acropolis in the background for me to do the proposal and she didn’t suspect a thing! This is a rare talent and he went above and beyond my requirements and I highly recommend his surprise proposal offering from his website. bashar ishaya2024-11-25 Todella ystävällinen ja ammattitaitoinen valokuvaaja.

The absolute highlight of our honeymoon. Vasilis… THANK YOU! Not only does he take the best pictures throughout your walk… but he’s extremely informative and helpful. He almost served as a guide for the rest of our trip, with endless recommendations. And let me tell you… the food/restaurant recommendations were as great as the photos. He even stopped and bought us the best lemonade mid tour. It felt like a walk with a friend. And the photos? STUNNING. Kathy C2024-09-16 Amazing photo tours with Vasilis Meeting Vasilis and learning photography and Athens was a highlight of my short stay in Athens last week. My colleague and I booked a late afternoon/evening walking tour and a sunrise tour with Vasilis. That was all the free time we had for the trip and we were just so glad that's how we spent the time. He is a wonderful photographer and so keen to teach. To quote him, "That's my goal in life, to put people into photography. Happier people, less wars." His love for his country and photography was contagious and inspiring. Walking and photographing next to a kind-hearted and wise man like Vasilis made me feel incredibly grateful for life. This is a fond memory that I will cherish for a very long time. I hope I get to visit Athens again and will find Vasilis again for sure! Gabriela G2024-09-08 Had a great time and got amazing photos! - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Took a tour with Vasili once in the winter and had such a great time that I had to come back again! The photos came out amazing, and were great for showing friends and family, or for posting on social media. As a photographer, Vasili knows how to get people to open up, as well as what moods, colors, and poses work best for them. There was a great variety in the pictures as a result of changing locations, clothes, and working with the props we brought along. Laughing and smiling for certain shots came naturally in his company. And, as a tour guide, Vasili was showing us places around the Acropolis that even the Athenian local in our group didn't know about. Hoping to return to Greece for another tour with him soon! Paula P2024-08-17 Must do, amazing guide, place, experience! The Athens sunrise photo tour was an amazing and unique experience that I will never forget. Vasilis is an Athens-born professional photographer with over 30 years of experience and with an incredible love and knowledge of the city. This was a private tour, and felt like a stroll with an old friend. He will meet you where your photography level is. The spot for the tour is incredible, with sweeping views of the entire Acropolis hill, Acropolis museum, and the city below. The sun rises to the right. We started well before the sunrise, and he constantly gave tips on framing, technical aspects, and timing. He made sure we made efficient use of time, since the light changes so fast with as the sun rises. He also gave suggestions on other places to go to photograph Athens and surrounding areas, and even brought breakfast! I came out with amazing pictures, new learnings, and a new friend. I wish every travel destination had a Vasilis. Now stop reading and book a tour! It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Greece.
