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!

JanG25252024-06-01Fantastic surprise proposal or special occasion photographer Vasilis is an amazing photographer with an incredible passion for his craft and the city of Athens. I was impressed with his help planning a surprise proposal, prompt communication before/after, and making our experience truly special. Thank you for the memories and the new connections to Greece and Athenians. I reached out to multiple photographers to plan the proposal and I liked the value he offered before, during the surprise "photo tour", and after. Two hours to give us plenty of time, showing us some special areas of the city, and edited photos very soon after our tour. I do not regret my decision and recommend him as a trusted photographer for a special evening for a proposal or other photo occasion.Passport461442786572024-05-30Highly recommended Regina was so easy to work with. She was informative about the culture and history of Athens. During the photoshoot, she was even carrying my bags so she can get beautiful pictures. I am very happy with the result, the pictures I received. Good job Regina.Venture570953834122024-05-17Book Now! Regina did a great job taking photos of myself and my husband.

Aside from the phenomenal photos, it was a real pleasure finding someone who is passionate about their art. I always thought that setting up a photoshoot was awkward because you have to pose and everything is very intentional. It couldn't be further from the truth. Vasilis and his easy-going character helps bring out your relaxed and spontaneous, which results in exactly the photos I was looking for.Gurdipkhera2024-05-0650th Celebrations Amazing photography experience while celebrating my 50th birthday.

This is infectious and has inspired me to take my photography to the next level of creativity. This was a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget . I was pushed out of my comfort level and lived every minute of this experience. Definitely book a tour with Vasilis if you are looking to be inspired!VoyagerAndy2024-04-24Superb photo guide I had a superb tour with the very knowledgable Vasilis. His chat, sense of humour, knowledge of the city, and professional enthusiasm for photography (and showing off the best of his city) are second to none. He immediately put me at my ease and once l began to show him some of my photos he was full of ideas and subtle coaching suggestions of better places to stand, or angles to use, or how to pick just the right moment to take my next photo. Athens is one of those places that seems to be on every traveller's wish list - it makes sense to spend that ambition wisely by being with a guide as pleasant and expert as Vasilis. I think I will return to the Athens area just for another photo walk (maybe the riviera?) - I enjoyed it that much.Angelika T2024-04-11The best photographer!!! The best photographer!!! He has a crazy imagination and the result left me speechless. He deserves 5 stars and more both as a job and as a person.Aziz E2024-02-29King of photography First of all, i was very hesitant to hire a photographer initially, i always believed i could take my own photos or anyone could do it. But with Vasilis, he showed me the true art of photography, he took his time and i trusted him completely, and im glad i did ! He put his heart and brain into each photo and that really made it an unbelievable experience, he loves what he does and it really shows his passion. Every angle was really and carefully thought. He told me his name means king, he is a true king of photography. He is so good that he makes you consider modeling ! Truly loved my time today and I am really glad i met him as a person . I met him as a photographer and now I know him as a friend. Thank you Aziz Abbas from Kuwait
