Reflecting on the photo tours so far!

Athens photo tour – Shooting the Acropolis

So it’s now being in roughly a year since I’ve been running my photo tours around Athens. Its been wonderful meeting new people interested not only in photography but obviously this incredible city too.

So what have I learned from these tours so far? I’ve realized that a lot of the people are not necessarily aware of the full functions of their cameras and how it works, I guess this is a normal situation for many people who are not so familiarized with the technical aspect of photography. Its become very much about tuition as well as making the best route to find the best location spots to take the photographs. I guess there is no easy approach to making sure that I’m not spending so much time on tuition that it slows down or even effects the momentum of the actual photo tour. Indeed the tuition is very much something I enjoy and I really hope that the guest leaves with more knowledge to help them in the future, I guess it will be a small balancing act but also part of making the tour as enjoyable as possible for my guests.

So now I’m also planning to do to other types of tours of the beautiful mainland country and Islands of Greece. So now I’m starting to take bookings on occasional dates throughout 2022 and next year. The first Tour will be a 6-day Peloponnese tour which will involve photogenic and very beautiful places of the south of Greece. Taking in some mediaeval castles, beautiful seascapes, amazing classical architecture and places of interest. The Peloponnese really is an incredible part of Greece and never ceases to amaze me.

The second tour will be the island Odyssey tour and this will involve the two islands of Milos and Syros which are both very beautiful in their own rights and are very photogenic, both quite different to each other but also very amazing places to experience. I will always endeavour to keep the groups small and and they’re going to be available on many different suggested days or which I will list on the website as and when they’re done.

I’m also looking at putting together other tours over the next year of many other of the incredible locations around Greece that I have discovered. The list of Locations are endless! I am so looking forward to progressing these tours more.

Please get in contact for more information.

Looking forward to meeting you.
