A dress that truly catches the wind. In Imerovigli, you get a private flying dress photo session with a dedicated photographer and assistant, plus panoramic Aegean and caldera views that make the whole concept feel real. I especially love the variety of dresses (colors, fabrics, and sizes up to 5XL), and I also love how hands-on the team is so you don’t have to figure out posing or how to make the dress move. One thing to consider: the experience depends on good weather, and if it can’t run, you’ll need to reschedule or get a refund.

Santorini photos can go two ways: you either feel like a statue, or you feel like yourself. This shoot leans toward the second. The photographer leads you from spot to spot, while the assistant adjusts the dress so it lifts and flows naturally.

You’re not just getting a “few snaps,” either. You’ll receive a large gallery of digital photos and a smaller set of high-resolution edits, delivered within 7 days, which is great if you want your images before planning the rest of your trip.

Key highlights at a glance

• 25 colors and sizes XS–5XL so you can choose something that fits and flatters

• 3 to 8 special spots in Imerovigli for variety without rushing across the island
• Large photo delivery range (130–750 digital photos) plus professionally edited high-res images

Why Imerovigli makes the flying-dress look effortless

Imerovigli is the “high ground” Santorini is famous for. The village sits above the sea, so your backdrop naturally includes expansive Aegean views and the caldera. That elevated setting matters because the flying dress effect looks best when there’s enough open space around you—less clutter in the frame, and more room for wind-driven movement.

Your session happens in Imerovigli village, with the photographer guiding you to multiple spots (typically 3–8) during your time window. The goal is not to sprint from one viewpoint to the next. It’s more like a mini route built around photo angles, so your dress and your poses look intentional instead of forced.

One practical note: wind is part of the magic. That’s good news for the dress effect, but on a very cold or stormy day, it’s harder for anyone to feel comfortable, and that’s why the experience is weather-dependent.

Picking your color, fabric, and ties from the catalog

The best flying dress shoots aren’t random; they’re chosen. After booking, you’ll get a flying dress catalog with options across 25 colors and sizes from XS to 5XL. You also get details that go beyond “pretty dress” vibes, like 10 unique fabrics and designs with 4–8 tie styles, which affects how the fabric behaves as it lifts.

This is where I think you’ll appreciate the structure. You’re not arriving and hoping something works. You choose in advance, and then on shoot day the team brings the dress in your selected size and color to the meeting point.

If you’re worried about comfort, this is where the assistant becomes part of the value. The assistant helps you get adjusted properly on arrival and throughout the shoot so the dress fits well and the movement looks natural. If you’re tall, short, curvy, or just not used to modeling, that extra help makes a big difference in how confident you feel.

A guided photoshoot: photographer + assistant keep you at ease

This is a private session, so it’s about you (and your group) rather than sharing time with strangers. That matters because a flying dress setup is physical: you’re learning where to place your arms, how to stand, how to keep your posture relaxed, and how to let the wind do the work.

The photographer takes the lead on posing and shot direction, and the assistant helps with the dress so it moves the way it’s supposed to. One of the standout themes from customer feedback is how the team gives clear instructions for people who don’t feel photogenic. If you’ve ever thought you’ll look awkward in photos, this structure is designed to prevent that.

You may even meet guides who are specifically praised for being kind and precise. Names that come up include Artemis and Alex—both described as responsive, patient, and focused on making sure clients are comfortable while still getting strong images. On hot days, it also helps that the team provides bottled water, which sounds small until you’re standing in full sun trying to keep a big smile going.

If you’re celebrating a birthday (or just want a “wow” memory), I also like that some clients report a small surprise gift from the team. Even if you’re not planning a milestone, it’s a nice extra layer of care.

Moving between spots for mini sightseeing time

Your shoot includes a mini sightseeing component, built into the route. Instead of a separate tour with a bus schedule and stops you didn’t ask for, you’ll visit each photo spot as part of the session in Imerovigli.

In practical terms, that means you’ll have movement and scenery changes throughout the 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) you’re scheduled for. The range is wide, so if you’re the type who likes photos without feeling rushed, aim closer to the longer end of the time window. If you’re short on time, the team can typically keep things efficient while still covering multiple spots.

The big advantage here is variety without hassle. You don’t need to do the “walk and hope” thing across steep streets with a dress that requires attention. The photographer chooses the angles; you focus on relaxing and following directions.

One thing to plan for: the experience is near public transportation, and the start point is Kivotos Santorini in Imerovigli. That’s convenient, but you’ll still want comfortable shoes. You’ll be moving between locations.

What you’ll receive: 130–750 photos and 7-day delivery

Here’s the part that makes the flying dress concept feel like more than a novelty. You’ll get a large set of digital photos delivered within 7 days. The delivery range is broad—130 to 750 digital photos—so depending on how your session runs, you should expect more than just a handful of favorites.

After that, you’ll also receive a smaller group of professionally high-resolution edited photos, 25 to 200 images, delivered within the same 7-day window. Those are the ones you’ll likely use for prints, social posts, or sending to family that always asks, So what did you do in Santorini?

There’s also an add-on option if you want extra polish. High-end retouched photos are available for an additional $40 USD. If you want the cleanest, most “magazine” finish, it may be worth it. If you’re happy with strong edits and natural results, you might skip it.

One smart way to manage expectations: think of the larger digital gallery as your “scrapbook layer,” and the high-resolution edited set as your “keep forever layer.”

Price and add-ons: what your $314.65 really covers

At $314.65 per person, this isn’t a budget activity. But it’s also not just paying for a photographer with a phone.

Your session includes:

• 30 minutes to 2 hours in Imerovigli with access to multiple special photo spots
• A flying dress rental for each lady (selected from the catalog)
• A personal assistant to help with the dress and keep it flying
• A professional photographer and camera
• 130–750 digital photos plus 25–200 high-resolution edited photos delivered within 7 days

So you’re paying for a whole setup: wardrobe, guidance, and post-production, not just someone taking pictures.

Two add-ons may affect your total:

• Private transportation on request for $40 USD
• High-end retouched photos for $40 USD

If you’re staying close to Imerovigli (or can easily reach the meeting point), you may not need the transport add-on. If you’re hopping around different towns and want a low-stress arrival, it can be worth it just to avoid thinking about timing.

As for value, I think it’s strongest if you’re celebrating something (birthday, engagement, milestone) or if you’re traveling with someone who loves photos and wants something different from standard “standing in front of a view” pictures.

Weather, timing, and the practical meeting point

This experience needs good weather. The tour can be canceled due to poor conditions, and if that happens, you’ll be offered a different date or receive a full refund. Outside of weather issues, the booking is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason, so it helps to book only when you have some flexibility in your Santorini dates.

Your shoot duration is listed as 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.). That depends on your pace and how your session is structured across the spots. If you run cold easily, plan for the fact that you may spend time outdoors between shots.

Meeting point is Kivotos Santorini, Imerovigli 847 00, Greece, and the activity ends back at the meeting point. You’ll also receive a confirmation at booking time and a mobile ticket.

Good to know for planning: service animals are allowed, most travelers can participate, and it’s near public transportation. If you’re bringing someone who needs extra reassurance or assistance, the private setup plus the assistant’s role should make the whole thing smoother.

Should you book this flying dress session in Santorini?

If you want a photo experience that feels more like direction and support than random sightseeing, I’d say yes. The combination of dress variety, a team that helps you pose, and fast photo delivery makes it a strong choice—especially for birthdays and couples who want a memorable theme.

Book it if:

• you like the idea of dressing up and having the dress movement handled for you
• you’re nervous about posing and want a clear plan
• you want a high output of photos delivered quickly (within 7 days)

Skip it (or think twice) if:

• your dates are tight and you can’t risk weather disrupting plans
• you want a low-effort, no-setup activity
• you dislike being outdoors for multiple angles, even if the session is guided

My bottom line: in Santorini, this works because Imerovigli’s elevated views give the flying-dress look scale, and the team’s “you’re comfortable first” approach helps most people get photos that actually look like you had fun.
