Athens Sunrise photo tour

Day - 1

What is a better way to start one of your days in Athens by watching and photographing the sunrise as it unfolds over it? The light of the sun at this time against the sky can be truly amazing and reveal to you colours that you never knew could exist in nature. Find yourself at this magical early hour of the day at the right spot and capture the astonishing views of this historical city spreading beneath you.

Get ready for some sunrise madness!

What to expect

We visit-just before sunrise, the perfect spot that provides us with breathtaking panoramic views including the Acropolis temple, Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the New Acropolis Museum, the National Observatory, the Hill of Lycabettus, the city’s mountain line and sea, all lit by the beautiful Mediterranean sunrise light!

On this photo experience, I will guide you into specialised photo techniques and discuss composition, exposure methods, blue and golden hours, so you will come up with outstanding magical photos of Athens. Also, I will introduce you to my city from this high up vantage point giving you historical facts and info!

This is a great experience open to all!

Bring your DSLR camera, mirrorless, point and shoot or even your mobile phone!

I will bring espresso and fruits!

What to bring

You will be photographing using long exposures, so a tripod is a kind of mandatory. We can provide a rental option.

Owning a remote shutter release will be a bonus but not a necessity!

We will meet and walk up a small hill while it is still dark so comfortable walking shoes are suggested.
