Santorini Sunrise Photo Workshop

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. And while sunrise is special anywhere, here, at the very edge of the Aegean Sea, it’s quite spectacular.

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. 

Explore Santorini at first Light

Much like the early bird catches the worm, the early photographer catches the sunrise. So we start this two hour workshop before dawn. You’ll be picked up while the moon is still bright and the sun is just thinking about rising. From there, we’ll head to the highest point on the island and set up our cameras to experience the panoramic views of Santorini at first light, before moving on to another location for beautiful early morning shots of the island.  

It’s a chance to explore Santorini at a time of day most travellers never see and develop your passion for photography by capturing extraordinary landscapes most cameras never witness.
