Zagori in Spring: A Photography Adventure in the Mountains

Experiential Landscape Photography Workshop

30 May 2025 - 08 June 2025

Imagine: jagged peaks still dusted with snow, vibrant wildflowers carpeting alpine meadows, and the crisp, clean air of a mountain spring. This isn't your average photo tour. This is a ten-day adventure into the heart of Zagori, "the place behind the mountains," a hidden Greek paradise where nature reigns supreme. A UNESCO cultural landscape.

This spring, we're forging a path less traveled. We're trading crowded viewpoints for secluded trails, tourist traps for authentic experiences. We're combining the thrill of alpine hiking with the art of landscape photography, all while enjoying the comfort of luxurious guesthouses and mountain huts.

Our journey begins in Metsovo, gateway to the region, where we'll capture the reflections on Greece's highest artificial lake and explore the surrounding peaks. Then, we venture into the heart of Zagori, basing ourselves in the picturesque village of Aristi. From here, we'll trek into deep gorges and ascend to alpine heights, capturing the raw beauty of the awakening mountains. Our grand finale takes us to the Astraka mountain hut, where we'll explore alpine fields, photograph the legendary Dragon Lake, and immerse ourselves in the breathtaking scenery.

Early spring in Zagori is a photographer's dream. The mountains are alive with wildflowers, the rivers are flowing with fresh meltwater, and the air is filled with the promise of new beginnings. We'll photograph wild horses grazing in meadows, and if we're fortunate, we might encounter some of the region's elusive wildlife.

This isn't just a sightseeing trip; it's a transformative workshop. We'll move beyond the basics of composition and technique, delving into the deeper aspects of photography as an art form. You'll learn to shed the layers of expectation and rediscover the pure joy of capturing the world through your own unique lens.

We'll be hiking, yes, but we'll be doing it in style. Mules will carry our gear, allowing us to focus on creativity, not fatigue. We'll stay in comfortable accommodations, enjoying delicious local cuisine and the camaraderie of fellow adventurers.

As a local, I'll share my intimate knowledge of Zagori, guiding you to hidden gems and providing insights into the region's culture and history. You'll experience Zagori as I do, as a place of profound beauty and tranquility.

This workshop is for those who crave adventure, who yearn for authentic experiences, and who are ready to push their creative boundaries. If you're open-minded, passionate about photography, and eager to explore the mountains in their purest form, then join me in Zagori this spring.
