The Most Romantic Sunset in Greece Just an hour’s drive from the bustle of Athens lies Cape Sounio, home to the majestic Temple of Poseidon. This is arguably the most dramatic location in Greece for photography. As the sun dips into the Saronic Gulf, the white marble columns glow with a golden hue, providing a cinematic backdrop for your private photoshoot.

The Drive: Enjoy a scenic journey along the Athens Riviera, passing through the beautiful coastal suburbs of Glyfada and Vouliagmeni.
The Session: I will guide you through the temple grounds and the rugged cliffs of the Cape to find the perfect angles where the architecture meets the sea.
The Expertise: With 30 years of experience, I know exactly how to manage the coastal wind and the changing evening light to ensure you look your absolute best.

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. 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 tntbennettVerified Do this! You won't regret it! I cannot say enough great things about this photo session! 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!! 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 WVerified Engagement proposal photoshoot tour 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 AnnaVerified Big shout out to this wonderful soul for capturing this amazing moment for us! Big shout out to this wonderful soul, no one is gentler or sweeter or kinder. Vasilis is that small package good things come in. He was witty and smart and laughed with us and shared stories. He is such a gentleman. He made us feel at ease and from the very first moments and knew it was an one of a kind man. He’s very professional, very courteous, knowledgeable and committed to his work. He captured our special moment and we couldn’t ask for it to be better. The photos are just gorgeous the scenery is breathtaking. It’s a privilege to call him a friend despite only knowing him for a few short hours. He is highly recommended by us and we do hope to see him in the near future.Posted on AcescartinVerified Nice photography tour I had a wonderful experience on the photography tour with Stavros. The photos turned out fantastic, and I really enjoyed the entire session. Stavros was nice and patient, providing guidance on poses and how to make the most of each shot. He also did a good job of identifying beautiful spots for photography, making the tour both enjoyable and productive. It is worthwhile for anyone looking for nice photos while exploring stunning locations in Athens to hire the team.

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.
