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.

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.

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 photoPosted on Greg HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 AniaPosted on Anna PiotrowskaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with our engagement photos! From the very first conversation, Vasilis made us feel completely at ease and truly listened to what we envisioned. On the day of the shoot, he created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere that we almost forgot we were being photographed—yet every shot is beautifully composed and full of genuine emotion. The lighting, the candid moments, the little details we would have missed - Vasilis captured it all with such artistry. Our friends and family can’t stop complimenting the photos, and we know we’ll treasure them for years to come. He is very funny , witty and clever. He has a cat with a very cool name too! It meant a lot for us to meet someone who loves animals as much as we do. If you’re looking for someone who is both professional and wonderfully personable, we wholeheartedly recommend Vasilis. He turned an already special day into memories we’ll cherish forever. And he did it all for the glory of love.
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.

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!!
