IMG_0121There’s a ton of sites out there that will tell you the best ways to shoot photos in Greece. The light in this country is rather special, even professional photographers and traveler photographers agree that there is nowhere on earth quite like it. Perhaps it is the color of the sea, the mountains and sky, perhaps it is just a blessing from the Greek gods, who knows? Whatever there reason, do a bit of searching around the internet and you are bound to get some great tips for shooting memorable photographs of your trip to Greece.
I’ve just got one important tip that will make your life 100% easier when you return from your Greek odyssey: If traveling with others, be they a spouse or partner, friends or other family members:
Be sure to set your camera date and time to the same time before you arrive in Athens. This will help you correlate all of the photographs you’ve taken. Don’t think it will be an easy task to redate the photographs after they have been taken. It is not. (I’ve just finally given up after months of sorting through tips on doing this, and thus, our amazing African Safari photos from Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda are all out of sync, making the task of choosing who had the best shot of a gorilla or hippo a very frustrating experience).

So best to do the smart thing:

Synchronize all cameras, video cameras, and other digital devices you’ll be using to shoot photos in Greece and you’ll have an easy and fun time reflecting on your newly created Greek memories after the trip is over.

How does a little girl from Skokie, Illinois find herself in historical Athens, leading curious explorers through the winding streets of Plaka, down "pezodromos" to hidden ouzeries for tempting mezedhes and homemade barrel wine? The journey began more than twenty years ago, and regardless of whether the wanderlust comes from the spiritual and culture DNA flowing through my veins, or the alignment of the stars on that cold mid-December day this Sagitterian came into the world, I never seem to tire of exploring my adopted homeland of Greece. Here you'll join me as I explore Athens: be it the back streets of Psirri and Gazi, or through the National Gardens and Zappeio where a family of turtles makes their home, or down wide, treelined Imittou Street in Pagrati, which pulses with Athenian life 24 hours a day. And while Athens has stolen my heart, the rest of Greece vies for my curiousity and wanderlust. My two guys (that'd be the Greek God, Vasilis and our Greek dog, Scruffy) and I can often be found settling in for a long weekend in some charming mountain village, or a quaint fishing port on a nearby island, or learning how Greek vitners are producing wines that rival some of Napa Valley's finests productions, or celebrating a panayeri in Epirus or sharing in the festivities as a family of Cretan sheepherders come together to sheer their 1500 sheep in the spring ... And if you happen to find yourself heading to Athens, consider finding yourself a real home for your stay. Living amongst the locals, be it for 3 nights or 3 weeks, will offer you the chance to experience true Athens, beyond the Acropolis. Choose from one of our 5 beautiful penthouse and historical homes, and who knows, I may be leading you down that winding "pezodromo" to our favorite hidden ouzerie!
