With breathtaking scenery at every turn, you won’t lack for swoon-worthy landscapes, ancient buildings, sumptuous cuisine, and endless blue .

You might even consider snapping some portraits of your fellow travelers or during your home-hosted lunch with a Greek family in Naxos • While it’s tempting to capture every dramatic vista of this region, don’t forget to zoom in closer to capture the authentic feel of a place, such as the Parthenon • Experiment with black and white — a colorful area like the white architecture in cities found in the Greek Isles will appear starkly different when you change the tone
