TOUR ITINERARY
A stop at the Roman Hadrian’s Gate and then a visit to the historic site of the ancient Temple of Zeus with great photo opportunities with the Acropolis in the background!

You will be introduced to and photograph the Panathinaiκon stadium, a photographer’s paradise! The first modern Olympic Games of 1896 took place here.

Through the scenic paths of Plaka at the foothills of Acropolis, we discover the old Athens and the island-lookalike area of Anafiotika. Everything under the warm Athenian sun that shines almost throughout the whole year!

While we explore known and unknown Athens, I will be pointing out the perfect points of view for an outstanding photograph. I can explain to you all your camera’s functions if you need to and give you practical tips you can use straight away to upgrade your photography.

We end up with spectacular panoramic views of the Acropolis rock, the Parthenon Temple and the city of Athens from the 105m-high hill of the Nymphs where the principal assembly of the democracy of ancient Athens convened.

Our Photo Walk will pass by the most picturesque spots and reveal fantastic photographic opportunities!
I am sure you will leave with your spirits and photographic skills developed and enriched!
You may drop me a line if you like, about your styles and interests or what you like to see in a city and I will be happy to customize a route closer to your likes!

And directed the session beautifully to ensure we got great photos. Wonderful experience.Posted on Michael PodolnyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vasalis, I am not sure if you remember my Wife Gloria and I. We were clients of yours in May of 2018. 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.

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
