Athens Photo Tours
Group Tours
Athens thru the
Lens - Ancient Footsteps
On this tour you will
follow the footsteps of everyday people and their cultures through
the centuries. We will stroll by small white-washed houses built
amidst the rocks beneath the gaze of the Acropolis. The narrow
meandering steep streets and steps, stone walls and gardens filled
with flowers give the impression of being on a Greek island. You
will see the tower of the winds, a weather vane, a sundial, and a
hydraulic clock housed in an octagonal tower built by the astronomer
Andronicus, the Roman Agora, the remains of Hadrian’s Library built
in 132 AD seen at a distance, and Fethiye Djami – Mosque of the
conqueror, considered one of the oldest and finest Ottoman monuments
in Athens. You will learn how to work with light and shadows, color
and forms in a creative way, how to use photographic techniques to
advantage and how to be ready to take great photos any time you go
out with your camera.

Athens
thru the Lens - Hills + Dems
(Municipalities of Ancient Athens)
Starting at the
pedestrian area of Apostolou Pavlou street, which unites the major
archaeological sites of Athens we follow in the steps of Hadrian to
see where he attended the inauguration of the Temple of Olympian
Zeus. We wind our way past Roman ruins, mosques, temples and the
homes of the Greek Gods of Olympus. En route you will see the 3000
year old Theatres which premiered the plays of Sophocles and
Euripides and that are still in use today. You will have superb
vantage points from the sacred Hill of Philopappou (Hills of the
Muses) to photograph the Acropolis and then on to Plaka and past the
magically lit restaurants scattered all over the hillside. You will
learn how to work with light and shadows, color and forms in a
creative way, how to use photographic techniques to advantage and
how to be ready to take great photos any time you go out with your
camera.
