I had to have a 2 day trip to Athens and among my work obligations I definitely wanted to photograph some of Athens’s picturesque spots and main attractions, as a passionate amateur photographer that I am!
Having not enough time to walk and discover the city myself, I chose PhotoWalksinAthens and I didn’t regret it at all!
Vassilis took me to all the beautiful spots of the area of Athens under and around the rock of Acropolis, through a very scenic route with a lot of photo opportunities along the way. While I was free and loose to do my thing, Vassilis revealed to me the right angle from the proper spot, to make a perfect travel shot. He would answer any of my questions, explain to me all the photography rules and technical details in a very simple and practical way making clear in my mind things I was confused with before!
Vassilis is a great resource of tips and hints about the city, too! I used his suggestions for my time in Athens and I didn’t regret it!
I enjoyed my time with PhotoWalksinAthens (and Vassilis’ humor!); I learn a lot about this historic city and came away with impressive travel shots and new techniques to use on my future travels!

Description
This photo walk takes you to iconic archaeological sites, a charming little 16th-century church, and areas offering great views.
It also introduces you to the neoclassical and modern architecture of the buildings that line the vibrant Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, which eventually becomes Apostolou Pavlou, as you make your way towards the hip Thisseio neighbourhood.
You’ll be able to capture the local street life, street artists, archaeological landmarks, views of the Acropolis, and classic Athenian architectural details.
En route you’ll see art deco buildings, the Acropolis Museum, the Theatre of Dionysus (where drama competitions were held in honour of the Greek God Dionysus), the Odeon of Herodes Atticus (the 2nd-century theatre at the foot of the Acropolis), views of the Parthenon, and the Areopagus (where trials where once held), finally reaching the lively Thisseio neighbourhood. Here, you can sit down for a coffee break or pikilia (mixed appetisers).
