To fall in love with Athens is to accept and surrender to the chaos of the city. Athens has an indescribable energy, one that swoops you up in a whirlwind and crashes you into full culture. Ioannis takes us on a walking tour in the heart of Athens; popping into family-run shops and restaurants that haven’t changed since the golden era of the city in the 60’s. Through his lens, Ioannis captures hidden gems, snapshots of daily life and the sense of calm that can only be felt when high above the ground. Full of interesting characters, white, flat rooftops and hidden gems you simply have to hunt out to enjoy.
Ioannis Siamanis
Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Ioannis is an Athens native and returns to his home country often. His photography captures the very details that would go unnoticed to the untrained eye - they entice a sense of curiosity that draws you in. “I feel imperfection is much closer to how life is than perfection. However perfection is there at that moment”, he says.
