Oia: Santorini Photoshoot with Flying Dress Rental Option

If you’re dreaming of snapping some truly memorable photos in Santorini’s iconic setting, this Oia photoshoot might catch your eye. While I haven’t personally tried this experience, I’ve looked into what makes it stand out, and it seems like a thoughtfully curated way to capture your visit. It’s especially appealing if you want more than just quick snapshots — with professionally-edited images and the fun of a flying dress, it promises a unique keepsake of your trip.

What I really like about this experience is how it combines stunning scenery with the chance to wear a striking dress that makes you feel like a goddess — all while being guided by someone who knows the ins and outs of Oia’s best photo spots. Plus, the fact that you get 50 edited digital photos gives you plenty to choose from and share with friends and family later. On the flip side, an important consideration is that the flying dress comes with an extra fee, which can add up if you’re on a tight budget.

This experience seems best suited for travelers who want a personalized photoshoot with a touch of style and flair. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or even in small groups, it offers a chance to get professional shots at some of Santorini’s most photographed locations. If you’re after a fun, memorable activity that results in beautiful images, this could be a great pick.

What to Expect from the Experience

This photoshoot isn’t just about snapping pictures — it’s about creating a memorable experience that captures the essence of Santorini’s charm. The tour is conducted by SANTORINI-PERSONALPHOTOGRAPHER, offering a live English-speaking guide who will take you on a scenic stroll through Oia’s main paths up to the famous Castle and ending at the iconic Blue Domes. During this walk, the guide and photographer will seek out the best angles, incorporating views of the caldera, the iconic blue domes, and quaint churches.

One of the standout features is the option to rent a flying dress, hand-crafted by the Greek brand Flyoia. This dress isn’t just a costume — it’s designed specifically for photos, creating the illusion of flight and movement. The dresses come in 15 vibrant colors, so you can pick one that best fits your style or mood. If you’re unsure about which color suits you, don’t worry — you’ll get to choose on the spot, and the assistant will help make sure your dress flows beautifully.

The entire session lasts about one hour, which is enough time to explore some of the most photogenic spots and still have a relaxed experience. You’ll be guided through lesser-known corners of Oia, giving you a sense of discovery while avoiding overly crowded areas — perfect for capturing more natural, less staged photos.

The Dress Experience — Is It Worth It?

Many travelers find that the flying dress experience adds a special touch — transforming an ordinary photoshoot into something truly memorable. As one reviewer noted, the “photographer and her assistant were both very lovely and completely made me feel at ease.” It’s clear that the team aims to create a comfortable environment where you can relax and enjoy the moment.

The extra fee for the dress rental is €100, which might seem steep, but considering the handmade quality and the creative effect it offers, many find it worthwhile. The dress helps you look like a goddess or fairy, elevating your photos from beautiful to extraordinary. Keep in mind that the dress rental is optional, so if you prefer more traditional photos, you can do the shoot without it.

The Photography — Quality and Style

The photos are professionally edited, meaning you’ll receive images with polished lighting, color correction, and framing. This makes them ready to share or print without additional work. The experience promises 50 digital photos, giving you a good variety to choose from.

What sets this apart from casual snapshots is the guided approach. The photographer and assistant will direct you to the best spots and give tips on posing, making sure your photos look natural and flattering. Based on reviews, travelers appreciated the professionalism — one said, “I cannot wait to see the photographs,” indicating a high level of confidence in the results.

The Location and Scenery

Oia is one of the most photogenic spots in Santorini, and this tour takes full advantage of it. Expect to be taken to spots with stunning caldera views, iconic blue-domed churches, narrow marble streets, and quiet corners that are perfect for photos. The guide will also show you some hidden spots, so you can avoid the usual crowds and get more authentic shots.

The Blue Domes and castle ruins are classic Santorini backdrops, but discovering lesser-known vantage points offers a more personal feel to your images. The combination of natural beauty, colorful dresses, and professional guidance makes for a memorable session.
