While it might sound a bit indulgent, it’s surprisingly practical for how high-quality and memorable the photos will be.

What Is the Santorini Oia Flying Dress Photoshoot?

This one-hour photoshoot is designed to give you a luxury experience on the streets of Oia, one of Greece’s most beautiful villages. You begin at the centrally located KooKoo Bar, where you change into your chosen dress in a private fitting room. After that, the magic begins as you walk through the charming lanes, with assistance guiding you to appear effortless in front of the camera.

The highlight is the “flying dress”—a flowing garment that, when worn with the help of an assistant and fans, creates the appearance of movement and grace. The photos are taken against seven iconic backdrops, including the caldera, blue-domed churches, and scenic viewpoints, offering a variety of settings to suit different tastes.

The session culminates in a relaxed photo session with portraits against the caldera at sunset. If you opt for an extra hour, you’ll explore additional scenic spots like Imerovigli, known for its stunning blue-domes and panoramic views. The whole process is organized and professional, with a dedicated helper assisting with dress flying and posing guidance.

What Makes This Experience Stand Out?

The professional guidance is a big plus. Many reviews mention how helpful the assistants are in making you look relaxed and natural, whether it’s through posing tips or help with the dress. As one user noted, “We loved the way the assistant helped us feel confident—those photos really captured the magic.”

The variety of dress colors and styles allows you to customize your look, and the high-resolution photos are a treasure—over 70,000 of them, in fact, delivered via an online gallery. This means you get a living album of your Santorini memories, perfect for sharing or printing.

The scenery is what you’re really paying for. Oia’s whitewashed buildings, blue domes, and sweeping caldera views are an incredible backdrop, especially during the golden hour. Photographers recommend early morning or late afternoon for the best light and fewer crowds, which is a practical tip for any visitor.

The Itinerary in Detail

Starting at KooKoo Bar, the experience begins with a private fitting in a comfortable changing room. Once dressed, you’ll embark on a walking tour through Oia’s maze of narrow lanes, each turn revealing a new picturesque scene. The assistant helps you “fly” your dress—a technique involving fans and careful positioning—to create those sensational flowing effects.

You’ll visit seven iconic backdrops with Alex, the photographer, capturing dynamic shots with the caldera as a stunning backdrop. The assistant’s role is crucial here, ensuring you look natural and confident, whether you’re striking a pose or simply enjoying the scenery.

Toward the end, you’ll have a chance for casual portraits against the caldera at sunset—a truly magical moment. If booked with the additional hour, your tour extends into Imerovigli, offering more blue-domed vistas and panoramic views.

The Photos and Delivery

The quality of the photos is a highlight. They are color-corrected, high-resolution (6K and 2K), and delivered through an online gallery that’s accessible for a whole year. This flexibility means you can revisit your photos anytime and share them with friends and family.

Many travelers rave about the volume of photos and the professional editing. One reviewer simply said, “The photos are stunning, and having so many to choose from makes it worth every penny.” You also have the option to request a free behind-the-scenes video, capturing the fun moments during your shoot.
