It is recommended to use wide-angle and telephoto lenses when shooting the Meteora area. You can use polarizer or ND filters to enhance images of rivers and waterfalls (depending on the season). These are recommended for Plastiras Lake and Zagori mountain tours.

If the rain starts and stops or it is just a drizzle we will use umbrellas or take a coffee break and continue when the rain subsides. Keep in mind that sometimes in the art of photography unstable weather can give us opportunities for the best photos.

If a child is in your group please send us an email or give us a call for special prices and accommodations.
