IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU SEE ATHENS LIKE THIS

THE COLOURS OF ATHENS : A JOURNEY THROUGH LIGHT, EMOTION, AND TIME

COMING DECEMBER 2025

An artistic coffee-table photo book (27.0 × 34.5 cm) that captures the soul of Athens — not just its landmarks, but its living heartbeat.

From the golden streets of Plaka to the violet dusk above the Acropolis, The Colours of Athens reveals a city painted by light, seasons, and emotion.

Every image is a dialogue between past and present, between ancient stones and human presence. It’s a love letter to the city — seen through the eyes of a photographer who walks its streets like a poet.

This is not a guide.

It’s a visual symphony of light and life — timeless, colourful, and deeply human.

Discover the warmth of marble under sunset, the reflections on wet pavements, the serenity of early mornings, and the pulse of evenings filled with sound and colour.

The Colours of Athens invites you to slow down, to feel, and to remember what it means to truly see.

A collector’s edition for those who believe that cities, like people, have souls.

A Perfect Festive Gift

This holiday season, The Colours of Athens makes a meaningful gift — for those who love art, travel, or Greece itself.
Elegant, timeless, and full of light, it’s a collector’s book that brings the warmth of Greek sunlight to the winter season.
Available for pre-order — delivery before Christmas.

Because every corner of Athens tells a story

Read the short stories, inspired by real walks

These short stories are moments captured during real walks through Athens — written between photographs, coffees, and quiet pauses. They are not guides or excerpts from books, but fragments of life — spontaneous reflections that reveal how the city truly feels when you slow down and walk through it.

It’s early — the kind of early where the sun is up, but the day hasn’t fully begun. I step out of the car and start walking along Passalimani, the sea wrapping quietly around the harbor like a secret it’s keeping.
The city was still asleep, and so were its secrets. I walked through Thissio as the sky slowly lit up, the ruins glowing golden and the streets whispering stories.
The air is still — not yet heavy, but you can feel what’s coming. The summer sun is already warm on my face, and in a couple of hours, the heatwave will arrive like a slow tide.

let me introduce myself.

Nick Dessypris

Since we will walk together through Athens… let me introduce myself.

My name is Nick. I was born in this city, and lived here most of my life. Athens is the city that shaped me — the city I still carry with me wherever I go.

I have walked these streets as a child, as a student, as a young professional, as a dreamer. Here I took my first photographs when Iwas still a child. Later, as I studied photography, I kept shooting and shooting — until I felt I knew every angle, every light, every hidden spot in this city.

And this is what I want to share with you: a walk through Athens, even if you are sitting comfortably on your sofa, far away from Greece. I will show you the corners, the landmarks, the cafés, the restaurants — the city as I know it, so that when you come, it will already feel familiar.

And if you’re already in Athens? Even better. I’ll walk next to you through these pages, sharing everything you need to know — and a little more.
