Planning a trip to Santorini and dreaming of those iconic photos against the caldera’s cliffs and whitewashed buildings? The Flying Dress Photoshoot Tour offers a chance to step into your own Greek postcard. For about $83, you get roughly an hour of professional photos amid some of Santorini’s most scenic spots, with the added benefit of pickup service. The experience takes place in Imerovigli, a quieter village that offers sweeping views of the Aegean Sea and the famous blue-domed churches, making it an ideal backdrop for your dream shot.
What we love about this experience is how it combines the beauty of Santorini with a chance to feel like a Greek goddess — dressed in an elegant, flowing gown designed to catch the wind and create dynamic, memorable photos. The professional photographer will take around 250 shots, guiding you on how to pose, so even camera-shy travelers can feel confident. Plus, the assistant helps make your dress fly just right, adding that extra touch of cinematic flair.
A potential consideration is the quality of photography, which some visitors found a bit amateurish, focusing mainly on stretching dresses rather than capturing movement or artistic composition. If you’re expecting high-end fashion photography, this might be more casual, but if you’re after fun, memorable images with a stunning setting, it’s a solid choice.
This tour suits couples wanting romantic keepsakes, solo travelers eager for a fun photoshoot, or groups celebrating special occasions. It’s particularly great if you’re looking for a unique experience that combines iconic vistas with a bit of style and flair.

The Location: Imerovigli and Its Charm
Starting in Imerovigli, known for its fewer crowds compared to Fira or Oia, the village offers a peaceful yet spectacular setting. The tour begins with a pickup from your accommodation, which is a nice convenience. Once at the meeting point — the Kivotos Santorini — the real fun begins. This area is famous for its caldera views, and your photographer will help you harness that natural beauty for your photos.
The initial shots near the blue dome are classic Santorini. From here, the session moves to more panoramic views of the cliffside and the Aegean Sea, capturing the essence of this volcanic island.
The Photoshoot: What to Expect
Your time with the photographer is about one hour, which sounds brief but can be enough to get a variety of shots. The photographer will take around 250 images, so you’ll have plenty to choose from. Expect some direction on your poses; although some reviews suggest the photographer might be a bit amateurish, most appreciated the friendliness and efficiency of the team.
The real star here is the flying dress. The assistant helps make sure it billows just right in the breeze, creating that iconic flowing look. This is why many travelers choose this experience — the chance to wear the dress and feel like a Greek goddess for a day.
Post-Photoshoot: Delivery and Quality
Within 14 days, you’ll receive your images via email, both unedited and edited in high resolution. This allows you to choose your favorites and have professional-quality keepsakes. While some reviews expressed disappointment in the photography quality—describing the photos as mainly stretching dresses rather than capturing movement—others, like Tiobhan, praised the staff for their professionalism and friendliness.
The Practicalities
The tour is a private experience, so only your group will participate, which often results in better guidance and personalized attention. The activity is accessible to most travelers, with near public transportation and service animals allowed. If weather turns poor, the tour can be canceled or rescheduled, which makes it more flexible than some other photo sessions.
