About this tour
⛵ Explore the volcanic wonder of Santorini by sea on this day cruise. With cliffs, beaches, and caldera views, it’s a full sensory experience of the island’s most famous landmarks – all from the comfort of your catamaran.
🌋 The trip starts from Vlychada port, where you’ll board your boat and sail along the southern coast. Red Beach and White Beach will appear like postcards, and hidden caves and rock formations will add a touch of mystery.
🌊 As the boat passes Black Mountain and the Santorini Lighthouse, the scenery will shift into the breathtaking Caldera. Cruise by Nea and Palea Kameni, the Hot Springs area, and the old port of Fira – all steeped in volcanic history and myth.
🏞️ If the weather allows, we’ll continue to the north and arrive in the postcard-perfect town of Oia. The view from the sea is nothing short of magical, especially with the white washed cliffs rising above the water.
🍷 Onboard hospitality with drinks, snacks, and the freedom to swim in the Aegean’s clear waters – whether at the beaches, near the volcano, or by hidden coves.
📍 Arrival is either at Vlychada port or Ammoudi Bay (Oia), depending on weather, traffic, or port conditions. Return transfers are arranged for your convenience.
