The 10 Best Walking Tours in Fira, South Aegean

One day, two Santorinis... For most visitors to the island, there is one Santorini. That of rugged, volcanic landscape and whitewashed cubiform buildings that spill down cliffs overlooking red, black and white lava pebble beaches. For photographers, though, there are two Santorinis: the island in the morning and the island in the afternoon.  Explore Santorini’s greatest hits and hidden bits The workshop is split into two parts – morning and afternoon – in keeping with the two Santorinis: Morning session We’ll start the day in the north of Santorini amongst picturesque traditional settlements, where you can capture an authentic side of the island, as experienced by the locals. Afternoon session After lunch and a break from the scorching midday sun (feel free to take a siesta), we’ll start up the afternoon session, heading south to explore off the beaten track.

MORNING WORKSHOP Starting at 9 am, we’ll spend four hours exploring the north of Santorini.

En route, we’ll drive through the well-pruned vineyards - giving you a view of Santorini that you don’t see in travel brochures.

GOOOOOOOD MORNING, SANTORINI Much like the early bird catches the worm, the early photographer catches the sunrise! In the early morning, away from the calm of Santorini’s moonlit whitewashed buildings and winding pathways, beyond the jagged lines of volcanic islands in the distance, the sun makes its magical entrance. As dawn breaks and the sun casts its pink and purple hues over the island, when most other people would rather be sleeping, you’ll be there in a prime spot to capture the views, rock formations and stunning architecture on camera. Taking one shot after another to tell your story of the best sunrise in the world. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or someone who only dusts off their camera for special occasions (this is a special occasion), if you have a basic knowledge of your camera and enjoy learning, this workshop is perfect for you. And there is coffee as well!
