Next, we’ll visit the ancient Agora of Athens built at the feet of the Acropolis, in the picturesque quarter of Plaka, which will give you endless options for shooting.

Plaka is a maze of cobblestone streets with pots of flowers and neoclassical houses you will absolutely love. Meandering streets, gardens, and stone walls will give you the impression that you are not in Athens but in one of the famous Greek islands.

The private tour will also bring you to the central market in Athens, where you can visit the fish and meat market; you will get ample time to take numerous pictures there since the themes are various and depict the Greek culture and habits.
