Santorini, Greace - my tips and video

[piotr_poland]

Hi guys,

I wanted to share with you my tips regarding flying on Santorini Island and also my video. I didn't experience any issue, people seem to be ok with drones. I was trying not to bother other tourists/locals with my drone - when flying at the most crowded place on Santorini - Oia, I woke up very early and started my bird right after sunrise, so there were almost no people, as you can see on the video. However, I saw some tourists launching and operating their drones in the middle of the day, in a very crowded square - please don't do it, you can get into troubles and/or make other people angry.
I was also trying to find less known spots on the island to fly there during the day - and I found Vlychada beach. It looks amazing! There were only few other people on a hot sunny day Here is my video:

Ok. I’m trashing my drone now. I obviously don’t know what I’m doing. Nah. Seriously, that was beautiful. Do you mind telling me what production software you used? I like the slow motion aspect. I liked everything. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you for your comment! I use Adobe Premiere for editing my videos.

Very nicely done. Watched the whole thing! Would like to get there someday.

thank you! the island is beautiful, I recommend going there just before the season - we were in the beginning of May - great weather, less people. However, "less people" on Santorini still means crowds (you cannot see it on my video though - I was trying to shoot in the most popular places early in the morning). It's hard for me to imagine how it looks between June and August...
