Esperides Resort Crete: Our Innovative FPV Video with DDG

When the Esperides Resort in Koutouloufari, Hersonissos in Crete approached us for a video project, we knew we had a story to tell. One of beauty, magic, and the captivating experiences waiting for guests at this stunning hotel.

To bring this story to life, we knew we needed the best in the business. We approached Dutch Drone Gods. With a portfolio that boasts stunning aerial shots for clients like Red Bull, and hundreds of million views for their work, we knew they were the perfect choice for capturing Esperides Resort in one-shot first-person view.

With Dutch Drone Gods’ FPV drone Pilots, and the direction of our founder and photographer, John Giannatos, we were able to take viewers on a journey through the dreams of a young woman, imagining all the experiences waiting for her at Esperides Resort. From the main pool and spa, to the traditional Greek Cretan dance performance of “Pentozalis”, and all the activities available to guests, we left no stone unturned in showcasing the hotel’s offerings.

With over 15 supporting actors and the staff of the Esperides Resort helping or appearing in the video, we were able to provide a comprehensive look of this Greek paradise.

It’s a work of art that we’re confident will help Esperides Resort reach its marketing goals and attract new guests.
