A Santorini flying dress photoshoot is a professional photography experience where you wear a custom-made, extra-long silk dress designed to catch the island’s high winds. A dedicated assistant tosses the train of the dress into the air while the photographer captures the shot against the caldera backdrop. Packages typically cost between €250 and €600, including the dress rental, assistant, and edited digital photos.
A flying dress photoshoot over the blue roofs of Santorini can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and there are several professionals on the island offering such a service.

FAQs
How much does a flying dress photoshoot cost in Santorini?
A standard 1-hour flying dress photoshoot in Santorini costs between €250 and €400. This base price usually includes the rental of one dress, a professional photographer, a dress-throwing assistant, and 15 to 30 edited digital photos. Premium packages with multiple dresses, drone footage, or hair and makeup services can cost upwards of €600 to €800.
How does the flying dress actually fly?
The dresses do not fly on their own. Every professional flying dress photoshoot includes a dedicated assistant whose sole job is to hold the long silk train of the dress, throw it into the air on the photographer’s count, and quickly duck out of the frame.
Where do you change into the flying dress?
Because the photoshoots take place in public areas like the blue domes of Oia or the rooftops of Imerovigli, there are no formal changing rooms. Most photographers use portable pop-up changing tents that they set up on the cobblestone paths, allowing you to change into the dress privately on location.
Can you do a flying dress photoshoot if you are pregnant?
Yes. The flying dresses are specially designed with wrap-around, adjustable bodices that can accommodate almost any body shape and size, including maternity. Many women book flying dress shoots specifically for maternity announcements or babymoons.
