Earth’s Beauty Tours Press Release

Earth’s Beauty Tours proudly announce that as from today, we have opened a unique (and 1st for a UK based photography tour company) photographic tour on The Greek island of Mykonos.

We are the only company based in the UK, offering a photography tour on this island of magic light and colour.

The tour will take place from 1st - 8th of July 2011 and the tour leader will be the Greek born and Scotland based pro photographer Dimitri Vasiliou. The advantage of Dimitri’s Greek mother language will make you feel at home on this magical island and his experience on photographing the Greek islands, will guarantee you having a superb holiday, a great experience and a large collection of images for your portfolio.

Over a million people visit Mykonos every year, many of them Local and international celebrities. Besides the colourful hordes of people visiting however, Mykonos has remained very charming, always dressed in that white on blue Mediterranean colour and always bathed in sunshine and before you ask, we will visit Ag Ioannis, the film set for Shirley Valentine.

Another reason why Mykonos has remained so popular, is its excellent beaches. The more cosmopolitan ones are found at the southern part and for those looking for some isolation, the island apparently still offers some hidden gems, tiny bays where one can find peace and tranquility.

The landscape of Mykonos with its granite rocks, its picturesque windmills and whitewashed houses with blue doors and windows, its merciless sunlight in contrast with the deep-blue sea is interspersed with many chapels. Whitewashed with red rooftops and bell towers, they are to be seen at every corner of the island, every turn of the road, every barren slope or deserted bay, over 1000 of them.

One only needs a camera (any kind of camera) and some inspiration, everything else falls to place. Besides its architectural and artistic side, the island also has to offer plenty of seascape photography.

Using long exposures or catching the 9 o’clock train as he calls it,you will create some of the most amazing seascapes one can only dream of. Using a 2 minute exposure, you will create some images that not only will stir the soul but will also be your pride and joy.

Dimitri will be there with you all along, providing you with help and advice if and when you need so. Needless to say that we will visit the best parts of the island under the best light and of course, it is always nice to have a Greek guide while in Greece.

But let’s not forget the food, after all you will be on a holiday. The food is something that you will never forget, gourmet and plenty of it, with flavours that people who have visited Greece before can only confirm. Plenty of Greek meze for lunch? You can’t go wrong, can you?

It does not really matter if you are a beginner or a well advanced photographer, you will find yourself that this island has something on offer for everyone. This tour is ideal for couples even if your partner is not into photography, as we will be shooting 3 hours in the early morning and 3 hours in the evening, the rest of the day can be spent relaxing, swimming, having lunch with the group and enjoy lovely walks during the evening, while others will be photographing the glorious light. Main meal will be after the sunset shoot. In general, anyone can have a superb holiday with unforgettable memories.

For a once in a lifetime experience, come and join us on one of our visits there, we guarantee you an unforgettable experience.
