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 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 !!!!

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)

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….

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.

A great way to see less well known parts of Athens. Photographer guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and offered lots of technical information and guidance.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then perhaps the advice Nikos gave to me on our journey through Athens will be worth a thousand better photos. Little did I know my guide would arrive, not only a humbling stack of credentials, but also a warm heart, insight to my particular areas for improvement, and the talent of deep articulation to help me.
Nikos gave me many things in our 4 hours, not the least of which was his honesty. I was thrilled to come away with a few good photographs, but by far the most valuable part of my trip was the wisdom of my guide. I would happily pay 10-20 times the price for this experience. Thank you @nikoskokkas for making me a better photographer and helping me connect a little to your beautiful city. Rob Adams

This photo tour was amazing! We're two photography amateurs always searching for off-the-beaten-path places to capture and our guide helped us do exactly that in Athens. After a few hours with this talented guide, we learned so much about photography and how to truly capture the bustle of a cosmopolitan city like Athens. He took us to so many places we definitely wouldn't have found on our own. We're very happy we came across this tour with someone so experienced. We had the most enjoyable time with him. We'll definitely do this again next time we're in Athens!

Athens September 2020
I was pretty surprised and excited by my photo tour in Athens with Menelaos. I was thinking about taking some pictures of the city while walking around in a break from a short business trip in Athens, when I decided to do it next to a pro. It turned out to be one of a kind experience. Menelaos really helped me broaden my perception in photography and shared a lot of good tips and techniques in just a few hours photo tour. Plus? I discovered places that I wouldn’t have found by myself. Such good luck to come across these tours and pros!

Greece Photo Workshops linked me up with Menelaos for a very memorable, enjoyable and insightful few hours exploring photography in Athens. The tour was felt adapted to my interests (ie. not a cut and paste experience) and it was very rewarding to spend time talking and practicing photography with such an impressive professional photo-journalist. I learnt a lot in just a few hours and came away from the experience with a new enthusiasm and new ideas about how to develop and improve my photography in the future. Menelaos is great company too and really provided a highlight to my first visit to Athens. I would highly recommend the tour, especially if you are looking to take your photography to a new level.
