Sunrise Athens Photo Tour
This is your chance to get an epic sunrise photo of Athens. Join our professional photographer early in the morning for a Sunrise Athens Photo Tour, as you will find your way up to Filopapou hill overlooking the Acropolis hill, and Parthenon. You will be guided to a scenic spot where you can watch the sunrise as it unfolds in the Greek capital. The image is wonderful, and Athens is a city enjoying almost 300 days of sunshine and nice weather.
You will be arriving one hour earlier, before sunrise so we can start photographing the blue hour, then sunrise and the golden hour, as the sun rises from behind Immitos mountain. Check out this article to better understand blue hour, golden hour and twilights. Also, have a look at this Sunrise calculator for Athens.
Morning Athens Photo Tour
The standard Athens Photo Tour. We start on the foothills of Acropolis and by walking in the scenic paths of Plaka, we discover a different city of Athens. Through the famous Hadrian’s Gate we wonder at the historic site of the ancient Temple of Zeus. You will walk through Zappeio and discover the historic Panathinaiκon stadium, the place where the Olympic Games of 1896 took place. Discover interesting places in Plaka and smaller neighbourhoods, like Anafiotika as we take our way around Acropolis Hill.
Sunset Athens Photo Tour
The same as the morning tour, giving us different photos as the light is changing from day to night. An evening tour that ends with a great perspective of the city just before sunset. Joins this tour if you need a more relaxed photography walk around the city.
Night Athens Photo Tour
Depending on the time of year we start our Night Athens Photo Tour one hour (or less) before sunset time. Starting from a hill across Acropolis we later follow an ancient path thru Athens city. During this photo tour we focus on Night Photography technics, like light trails. Be sure to bring a tripod, or ask us to bring one for you! This Athens Photo Tour is a walking tour focused on getting the best photographs of Athens city in the night. Small elevation along the way, expect to walk 2 to 3 hours in total. Always wear comfortable shoes and light wear as Athens is known for good weather through out the year.
