What you can expect
Athens is heralded with its raw and natural light. This two hour photographic tour and workshop will provide photography lovers the opportunity to capture this special light inside the ancient city of the Acropolis and create powerful images that tell a story, under the watchful eye of an experienced photographer.
Inside, you will capture sweeping landscapes from the belvedere platform and the city of Athens, as she stretches out from her surrounding mountainous ranges down to the Aegean Sea. You’ll make your way around to the Parthenon, Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion, zooming in on their architectural features and the timeless Ionic and Doric columns.
Your tour and workshop begins at the base of the Acropolis, where you will meet your photographic guide for a briefing session, before climbing to the top of Acropolis Hill, walking through the imposing marble-gate of the Propylaea.
Other photographic opportunities:
- * The Odeon of Herodes Atticus
- * The ancient theatre of Dionysos
- * The numerous important monuments on the south slope of the Acropolis
The tour ends close to the Acropolis metro station for further independent exploration.
The Photographers
We have carefully selected this group of professional photographers as they are committed teachers and avid travellers and will be able to simply convey, useful and practical knowledge to improve your photography skills and capture the very best of the Acropolis. Each of the photographers have been professionally trained and have worked in the field for more than 20 years.

* Photography opens up another dimension to this iconic and special place
* This workshop is easy to follow and suitable for people of all levels of experience
* Practical tips you can apply easily such as understanding light, composition and framing to create photos that make an impact
WHY ATHENS TIPS
* Professional gear or a DSLR camera are not required to participate in this workshop, even people taking pictures with iPhones can benefit and enjoy this workshop
* Try to keep your hands as free as possible by using a cross body bag or backpack during the workshop
* Wear comfortable walking shoes as there is an ascent up to the archaeological site. We would rate this walk as low to medium intensity, you don’t need to be super fit. Don’t forget your sunglasses, sunscreen and a good hat during summer
* There is a kiosk at the entry below the Acropolis that serves drinks and light refreshments. You are only allowed to enter the site with water.
* The most delicious Greek yoghurt is close by, so be sure to check it out before or after your tour!
