Athens private photoshoot - It was an important workshop, and one thing is certain—I gained more inspiration than I expected regarding urban photography. Since I already had some experience with photography, we didn’t waste time on technical details and went straight to the part about perceiving the urban landscape and the subjects I wanted to photograph. A big thank you to Sokrates!

EXCELLENT Athens Photo Workshop experience - Socrates Baltagiannis, freelance photojournalist, was our guide/instructor for this photo walk. He led us through the historic neighborhoods below the Acropolis. Before our arrival,Socrates asked about my specific interests, experience levels and any specific areas of instruction in which I was interested. He was extremely helpful, patient and knowledgeable. I asked for help with composition and exposure, especially in architectural and landscape photography. He offered great suggestions and advice that helped me improve my skills. In addition to the photography aspects of our tour, we had interesting conversations about a wide range of topics. His English skills are excellent and I know he also speaks other languages. I highly recommend this experience!

Wonderful Streetphotography Workshop in Athens - Wonderful Streetphotography Workshop with Socrates Baltagiannis, exploring Athens a bit aside from the usual tourist areas. Socrates is a great photographer, a very nice person and a great teacher. I had a lot of fun and got some great photos from this morning!

Amazing perspective of a locals Athens - Had an amazing day with Socrates. Not only did he adjust my photography technique to get the best street photography shots, but, even more, shared some of his favorite 'people places' to experience Athens from a local's perspective. His professional pointers on colors, angles, people and framing are priceless. Was able to continue shooting the rest of the day. And having him explain more history and culture was bonus. Would totally recommend!

We visited Athens, Mikronos, Tinos and Delos. - We had the most fantastic trip ever. Our photo Socrates was the best and we never would have seen Greece like we did without him. I highly recommend this tour and Socrates. This was the best vacation we have ever taken. BRAVO !!!!

Highly recommended! - A "local" photographer guide is essential in every photography tour- they know some more other tidbits not found in books. The reason why we went with this tour. Socrates , our guide got us into the "other" nooks and crannies of Athens- areas we would have not gone into otherwise. Socrates is very accommodating, knowledgeable, and protective- shooing potential local "accosters". We truly appreciated your time Socrates! Although we did not get to all the "other" interesting photo-worthy sites during the tour we got more practical information on how to get there on our own. Thank you- Tom (& Adora tagging along)

🌟 Exceeded Expectations: Greek Photo Tour 🌟 - We could not have been more pleased with our 9 day photographer tour that included Athens, and the islands of Mykonos, Delos, and Tinos. Maria’s warm, thoughtful design and coordination of agenda and logistics, combined with the extraordinary skill and knowledge of photographer Nikos Kokkas made for unforgettable experience for my wife Sally and myself. The information and insights into the history, culture and food as we traveled about provided a richness that impacted every interaction. Under Nikos’s tutelage, our photographer’s eye evolved by the day and our understanding of what makes a “great picture” grew exponentially. We could not imagine a better introduction to the country of Greece and are grateful for the time we spend together. Yamas Maria & Nikos…. Jonathan Golding Gloucester, Massachusetts

See Downtown Athens from a different perspective - It was interesting getting the chance to explore the downtown area from a different perspective and have the time to further my photography skills with a local photographer. It was well worth the time to do this tour.
