Greece Monastiraki Square, Athens

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

The Monastiraki square is practically the heart of Athens. It is located in the north of Plaka right below the Acropolis. The image was shot from a blacony of the restaurant "A for Athens" during the blue hour.

Photography Tips

It was not allowed to use a tripod to shoot the district, so I had to bump up the ISO and reduce the aperture in order to shoot the scene hand-held. So if you wanna shoot the district from the restaurant, make sure to visit during appropriate light-conditions.
