Not a tour.
A sunrise story you live — and take with you.

Oia is a busy place, but with Panos leading the way you get to really enjoy it and get amazing photos along the way. He is great company, I felt like I knew him for years. He is very passionate about Santorini and explaining the history of it. Bonus at the end is the great guide book he sends you that contains all the info. And the photos...omg the photos! I showed them to friends and they said they looked like something from Vogue/ Harper's Bazaar. I am awkward in front of the camera but Panos is super patient and helpful at explaining how to pose. I will treasure these photos for decades to come. Thank you again Panos for everything, it was a pleasure.
