Join this private photo tour to master street photography and capture the real character of this ancient and modern city. An authentic Athens city experience!
Athens is most well-known for its ancient monuments, mythology, and history. For street photographers, though, it has more to offer than just history. This bustling city has an urban metropolis feeling mixed in with all that past.
Power up your street photography skills with detailed mentoring on candid street portraits, witty observations, urban landscapes, and ‘decisive moment’ images. My 30 years of experience as a Press Photographer and tutor, immersing myself in every corner of Athens and having explored every facet of this beautiful art form, ensures that you’ll learn the art and secrets of photography and experience the city from an insider’s perspective. Either a pro photographer or just starting, you will capture stunning images of Athens to proudly share with friends and family!
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Any spot in Athens's center is compatible with the tour's route but it would be best to meet at the spot I will suggest.
Right outside the Acropolis metro station on Makrigianni pedestrian street.

This chaotic, colorful market in Athens is a magnet for photographers. It keeps an edgy vibe of Athens making it different from other European cities markets. It’s not the prettiest area, but it has a character to spare. The Athens’ Central Food Market will get you “life as it is” photos! ( and snacks all along the way!)

Monastiraki is one of the busier neighborhoods, and it’s always full of life. A flea market neighborhood and one of the main shopping districts in Athens. An area with a cool vibe, a popular metro station, and a large square where youth hang out provide us with a variety of great photo opportunities to document Athenian life. Ancient ruins, shopping streets, busy passersby, street vendors, and lots of graffiti will provide witty and lively scenery for plenty of candid street photography!
