Highlights

What is a better way to start one of your days in Athens than by watching and photographing the sunrise as it unfolds over it? 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. We visit an hour before sunrise, the perfect spot that provides us with breathtaking panoramic views of Athens and her landmarks all lit by the beautiful Mediterranean sunrise light! In this photo experience, I will guide you if you wish, into specialised photo techniques so you will come up with outstanding magical photos of Athens or I will introduce you to my city from this high-up vantage point and point out how to best capture the sunrise light! This is a great experience open to anyone wishing to admire and photograph an Athenian sunrise either being a serious photographer or just a point-and-shoot one!

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.

Top-ranked sights in Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
