Portrait Tour for a family arriving by cruise ship

Heather and Scott, along with their 2 daughters arrived in Santorini on July 10th and wanted to have a family portrait taken. They came in via the Celebrity cruise ship at 07:00 a.m. and loved to take the time to have a quality portrait taken with the cliff housing in the background. Scott had visited the island many times in the past for business, but never for holidays. Heather and their daughter’s were a first time vacationers in Greece and the Greeks islands.

By the way, Santorini’s cruise port has 2 peculiarities. The first one is that there is no direct car access at the island’s port. And the second one is that Cruise ships do not anchor at the harbor but float in place. So, travelers are ferried ashore by local tender boats. Then, they take the cable car and meet us at the top exit, since the bay (caldera) is 430 meters (around 1400 feet) deep!
We set up our meeting time at 09:00 a.m. Although Scott had already sent me a family picture of them to recognize them easier, in order to be safe I was also holding a sign with their name written on it.

After a 5 minute walk we reached the air-conditioned vehicle and drove directly to Oia. The journey time was about 20 minutes. During the drive, we had some time to know better each other. At the same time I explained them a few things about the island’s history, economy, culture and local life, since the family was very interested in it.

I am not a certified tour guide, but I always love to talk about my home. It is very common during the long lasting photo sessions to help my guests have a better understanding of the local life and the area’s unique wow factors. It is also a great opportunity for my guests to combine some of Santorini´s most famous and photogenic sights with a guided tour around the island. This session in Oia included a little bit of everything. A few romantic shots between Andy and Heather, some portraits of their girls and a visit to the playground!!!!!!! This visit was the highlight of the session, where everybody traveled back in time…
