If you’re dreaming of feeling like a star in Greece’s historic capital, the Flying Dress Photoshoot “Marilyn Package” might be just the thing. This experience promises a fun, stylish way to take home professional photos dressed in a flowing haute couture gown, set against Athens’ iconic backdrop. It’s not your typical tourist activity, but for those who love a bit of glamour and want a memorable souvenir, it offers a fun twist.
What we really like about this photoshoot is how straightforward and personalized it seems. First, you get a selection of beautiful dresses that complement various skin tones and body shapes, making it accessible regardless of size or style preference. Second, the team seems dedicated to making sure you look your best with creative guidance and a personal assistant on hand to help make your dress “fly”—literally.
A possible consideration is the cost—at nearly $700 per person, this isn’t a budget activity. But if you’re after professional-quality images and a fun, memorable experience, many find it worth the splurge. It’s especially suited for travelers who love fashion, want a unique way to capture their time in Athens, or just enjoy feeling glamorous even for a day.
This experience works well for anyone wanting a personalized, high-quality photoshoot without the hassle of arranging everything independently. It’s perfect for couples, friends, or solo travelers who want a special souvenir of their trip—no kids are explicitly mentioned, but the experience is generally suitable for most adults.

The session takes place at a picturesque Athens location, with the guide and personal assistant helping you with creative ideas and ensuring your gown catches the breeze just right. You’ll probably find the process both fun and relaxing, with plenty of encouragement from your photographer.
Post-Production & Delivery
After your shoot, you’ll wait about two weeks to receive 14 web-resolution images for your review. This is a nice touch, as it allows you to select your favorites before the professionally edited, high-resolution images arrive. Expect around 15 color-corrected photos, along with six high-end retouched images that really make you look your best.
Reviews highlight that the team is attentive to detail, and the retouching can be personalized to your preferences—whether that’s smoothing skin or brightening backgrounds. The turnaround times seem reasonable, keeping the experience smooth and stress-free.
How the Photoshoot Feels and Looks

You’ll love the way the photographer captures your best angles, and the guidance offered makes even camera-shy people feel confident.
One reviewer noted, “The photo shoot was amazing. But I wish they would have given me something to take with me, like a couple of shots, until I get my edits,” indicating that the team is attentive to customer satisfaction and open to feedback.
Travelers also mention the location plays a big role in elevating the photos—whether it’s near historic landmarks or vibrant street scenes, the setting complements the glamour of the gowns perfectly. The fact that children and partners can join at no extra cost adds a nice touch, making it a relaxed, inclusive experience for friends or couples.
Practical Considerations

Pricing at nearly $700 per person is definitely on the premium side, but you’re paying for a professional photoshoot with high-quality editing and a personalized experience. The package includes a dress, a guided photoshoot, and digital images, so it’s a pretty complete offer. Keep in mind that transportation isn’t included, so plan to arrange your own way to the meeting point at Sofokleous 15 in Athens.
The photos are delivered digitally, so you’ll want to ensure you have a reliable internet connection to download and save your images. Weather is a factor, as with many outdoor activities, but the team offers flexible rescheduling or refunds if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
