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 neighbourhood, 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.

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.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Vasilis for our proposal photoshoot in Athens. From the very beginning, the arrangement was incredibly smooth and everything was perfectly organized. The proposal at sunrise with the Acropolis in the background was truly magical, and Vasilis captured the moment beautifully. The photoshoot itself was amazing, he made us feel comfortable and natural, and the photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and easy-to-work-with photographer in Athens, we highly recommend Vasilis!

Our experience with Vasilis was beyond wonderful, and our family photos exceeded all our expectations for an occasion so dear to our hearts. More than the beautiful pictures, the photoshoot itself became a special experience filled with storytelling, passion and laughter. Both the photographs and our encounter with Vasilis are memories that we and our children will cherish for years to come.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Vasilis! Not only is he an incredibly talented photographer who captured beautiful, high-quality photos, but he also made the entire tour truly memorable. Throughout our walk through Athens’ Old Town, he shared fascinating insights about the city’s history, architecture, and local culture. His knowledge and passion made the experience so much more than just a photoshoot. He made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and the results exceeded all my expectations. The shots overlooking the Acropolis were especially breathtaking—they were true masterpieces. I couldn’t be happier with the photos and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. Thank you, Vasilis, for an unforgettable experience!

A big thank you to Vasili our photographer. Vasili's photography is amazing. His creative flair, positive energy, passion and charismatic nature is reflected in his work. His knowledge of Greece and our culture connects with every photo his lens captures. Vasilis communication with me was prompt & detailed and he always followed up with a check in email - ticked all the boxes as he made the process of organising a photoshoot in Greece, coming from Australia smooth & seamless - well organised with suggested wardrobe tones and photo shoot locations. On the day, Vasili showed direction, vision and delivered on our goals - tested backgrounds, lighting and made every effort to create the perfect atmosphere. We walked through the beautiful streets of Athens, laughing and cherishing every moment which was reflected in his overall photo gallery. Highly recommended - he created a fun loving family photoshoot. Amazing, brilliant, talented photographer!! Best wishes Vasili ❤️

The ONLY photographer you should hire when coming to Athens! Vassilis is a gifted and generous photographer who will give you images and memories that you will treasure forever. He is so personable and makes everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. As someone who often feels awkward when being photographed, Vassilis was so helpful in giving clear instructions. He knows wonderful locations that are not only beautiful backdrops but are hidden gems that really help you get a sense of the real Athens, not just what all the tourists get to see. I have used him as a photographer on multiple occasions, for both me as an individual and for family photoshoots.
