      Capturing the beauty of Athen and Love
      Amazing way to capture the joy of our honeymoon. Vasileos was not only an amazing guide during our walk through the city, but a gifted photographer who capture the love and intimacy between myself and my husband. He took us to different neighborhoods across the city capturing the unique personalities and charm Athens has on offer. I highly recommend if you are looking for a photographic experience in Greece you book with Vasileos.

      MUST do experience
      I would write a novel if I could. But let me begin with BOOK HIM ASAP. The absolute highlight of our honeymoon. Vasilis… THANK YOU! Not only does he take the best pictures throughout your walk… but he’s extremely informative and helpful. He almost served as a guide for the rest of our trip, with endless recommendations. And let me tell you… the food/restaurant recommendations were as great as the photos. He even stopped and bought us the best lemonade mid tour. It felt like a walk with a friend. And the photos? STUNNING.

      Amazing photo tours with Vasilis
      Meeting Vasilis and learning photography and Athens was a highlight of my short stay in Athens last week. My colleague and I booked a late afternoon/evening walking tour and a sunrise tour with Vasilis. That was all the free time we had for the trip and we were just so glad that's how we spent the time. He is a wonderful photographer and so keen to teach. To quote him, "That's my goal in life, to put people into photography. Happier people, less wars." His love for his country and photography was contagious and inspiring. Walking and photographing next to a kind-hearted and wise man like Vasilis made me feel incredibly grateful for life. This is a fond memory that I will cherish for a very long time. I hope I get to visit Athens again and will find Vasilis again for sure!

      Had a great time and got amazing photos! - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
      Took a tour with Vasili once in the winter and had such a great time that I had to come back again! The photos came out amazing, and were great for showing friends and family, or for posting on social media. As a photographer, Vasili knows how to get people to open up, as well as what moods, colors, and poses work best for them. There was a great variety in the pictures as a result of changing locations, clothes, and working with the props we brought along. Laughing and smiling for certain shots came naturally in his company. And, as a tour guide, Vasili was showing us places around the Acropolis that even the Athenian local in our group didn't know about. Hoping to return to Greece for another tour with him soon!

      Fantastic surprise proposal or special occasion photographer
      Vasilis is an amazing photographer with an incredible passion for his craft and the city of Athens. I was impressed with his help planning a surprise proposal, prompt communication before/after, and making our experience truly special. Thank you for the memories and the new connections to Greece and Athenians. I reached out to multiple photographers to plan the proposal and I liked the value he offered before, during the surprise "photo tour", and after. Two hours to give us plenty of time, showing us some special areas of the city, and edited photos very soon after our tour. I do not regret my decision and recommend him as a trusted photographer for a special evening for a proposal or other photo occasion.

      The tour felt like chilling with a friend I've known forever and the photos turned out excellent!
      Aside from the phenomenal photos, it was a real pleasure finding someone who is passionate about their art. I always thought that setting up a photoshoot was awkward because you have to pose and everything is very intentional. It couldn't be further from the truth. Vasilis and his easy-going character helps bring out your relaxed and spontaneous, which results in exactly the photos I was looking for.

    Photographing the sunrise over Athens was on my bucket list, and the highlight of my time in Athens was the Sunrise Photo Tour with Vasilis. Vasilis is such a passionate photographer, guide, and instructor, and his enthusiasm is infectious. Throughout our session, Vasilis made outstanding recommendations on composition and settings that I would not have thought of on my own, resulting in a diverse and outstanding set of sunrise photos over Athens. Vasilis also knows Athens inside and out, so he knows where to go for outstanding shots, and was great about putting Athens and our shooting location into context for me. Beyond getting great pictures, Vasilis made watching the sunrise over Athens an amazing experience. I highly recommend booking a tour or session with him while you are in Athens.

    Your sunrise photography of us with Acropolis and the rest of athens during our honeymoon is absolutely stunning! You have captured the beauty of this ancient monument and our love for each other in such a unique and breathtaking way. The soft morning light and the stunning backdrop of the Acropolis and the surrounding landscape create a truly magical atmosphere. Your talent for capturing the perfect moment and creating a sense of romance and intimacy for us is truly remarkable. Thank you for your amazing work and for creating such beautiful memories for me and my husband to cherish forever!

    The Athens sunrise photo tour was an amazing and unique experience that I will never forget. Vasilis is an Athens-born professional photographer with over 30 years of experience and with an incredible love and knowledge of the city. This was a private tour, and felt like a stroll with an old friend. He will meet you where your photography level is. The spot for the tour is incredible, with sweeping views of the entire Acropolis hill, Acropolis museum, and the city below. The sun rises to the right. We started well before the sunrise, and he constantly gave tips on framing, technical aspects, and timing. He made sure we made efficient use of time, since the light changes so fast with as the sun rises. He also gave suggestions on other places to go to photograph Athens and surrounding areas, and even brought breakfast! I came out with amazing pictures, new learnings, and a new friend. I wish every travel destination had a Vasilis. Now stop reading and book a tour! It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Greece.

    If you are looking for a professional photographer to do a photo walk in Athens, Photo Walks Athens is a great choice. Vasilis led me on a sunrise tour one day and a sunset tour of the city on a different day. His knowledge of Athens is vast. He was really helpful with the techniques of photography. I was able to get awesome photos of the Acropolis from vantage points I would never have been able to find on my own. It was time and money well spent.

    This experience with Vasilis I can highly recommend. I've been on the hill couple of times by myself but never 1 hour before the sunrise and as well I wanted to have good advice for photography. Vasilis did give me good advise for the photography but also he had good stories to tell, also he brought some very nice snacks among home made apple pie and we had nice conversations. The view itself was off course magical and this in combination with his very good energy and vibes made it an amazing experience!! It seems very early to start this but it is all worth while!

    The visit was wonderful. This was my first activity during my trip. It gave me a sense of the geography of the city, plus the awesome views from the top of the mountain. My guide was extremely kind and thoughtful. He gave me clear suggestions to improve my pictures. I also got a bunch of suggestions on things to do in the city and when to do them. I took for other guides during my trip. This activity was fabulous.
    Also, the fee that the activity is so early, only makes it better. The weather is so hot these days, that it is hard to enjoy all the beauty around you. This way, you can enjoy the views, walk in fabulous sites and be comfortable at the same time.

This was a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget . I was pushed out of my comfort level and lived every minute of this experience. Definitely book a tour with Vasilis if you are looking to be inspired!

    This stunning view and the photography pearls were well worth the effort of waking up early for this sunrise tour. Vasilis is both very likeable and quite knowledgeable. He assessed my skill level and equipment and tailored the content accordingly. He also kindly provided coffee and helped me get to to my next tour.
    Attached are some iphone shots as I have not yet edited the dslr images.
    Just do yourself a favor and take this tour. It is a very beautiful way to start a morning in Athens.

    It’s hard to imagine a better way to start your day in Athens, than watching the sun rise over the Acropolis. Vasilis is a professional photographer and so patient and helpful! He guided us to an ideal location for the sunrise and helped us take some amazing pictures. Meanwhile, Vasilis kept us entertained with great stories and brought a wonderful little breakfast to enjoy with the sunrise. An altogether magical experience. My husband and I highly recommend the sunrise tour with Vasilis!!
