What you can expect

If you wish to experience and capture the most iconic neighborhoods of Athens, then this tour is for you! We will start our tour from Acropolis metro station and wander to the narrow streets of village-like Plaka. Go past buildings of remarkable architecture and clamber up to scenic Anafiotika. Get ready for a travel in time! Just below the Acropolis rock, the narrow stoned paths will lead you in the old Athens. The white washed houses in Anafiotika, mimicking the Cycladic architecture, are creating a little island in the capital of Greece. From Plaka we will stroll down to the flea market and neighborhood of Monastiraki. Here, different layers of history intersect and offer a rich visual experience for your lens. Arty and bohemian neighborhood of Psyrri will be the last stop of our tour. The area is an open-air street-art gallery, filled with artisan’s workshops and hidden alleys. Bars, taverns and lively crowds are creating a fascinating tableau for unique vibrant pictures. And awaiting for your camera!
