About this experience

Drone Photography in Gaios is a guided aerial photography session based in the harbour town of Gaios on Paxos island. The activity takes you to launch points around the Venetian port and the islets of Panagia and St Nicholas, where you capture the coastline from above. It suits drone pilots of all levels who want to shoot the Ionian Sea and olive-clad hills from a legal, safe altitude.

What to expect

A 90-minute session with a local drone pilot who knows the permitted flight zones around Gaios harbour and the nearby islets.
Includes pre-flight briefing on Greek drone regulations and a live demonstration of camera settings for coastal light.
You will fly your own drone (or use a provided DJI Mini 4 Pro) to capture the old fort, the fishing boats, and the turquoise shallows of the inner bay.
The route covers two launch points: the quay near the ferry terminal and the hill above the Venetian castle ruins, giving varied perspectives.
Suitable for beginners and experienced pilots; the guide assists with framing and battery management throughout the session.
You receive a digital map of the flight path and a list of the exact GPS coordinates for future solo flights in the area.
