Getting a professional photo session in Mykonos with a floating dress might sound like a fantasy, but it’s very much a reality with the Flying Dress experience. This tour combines the picturesque charm of Greece’s most glamorous island with the chance to dress in vibrant, ethereal gowns and have a skilled photographer capture your best angles against iconic backdrops.
