Description
Enjoy a cruise around Santorini's caldera on a traditional wooden boat. Visit the area’s highlights, admire the scenic views, and savor an authentic Greek lunch or dinner with local white wine.
Marvel at Santorini's natural beauty on a cruise around the island in a traditional wooden boat. Stop to swim, snorkel, and visit the hot springs. Relish a Greek lunch or dinner with local white wine which is included in the price of the cruise. Choose the sunset option to admire Santorini's famous sunset too.
Start your tour with a convenient pickup service either from your hotel or from the nearest accessible location. Meet your driver-guide, then get transferred to the port in an air-conditioned van or minivan.
Upon arrival at the port in Vlychada, hop aboard the wooden boat and enjoy a welcome drink. Sail close to the Red and White Beach before making your first stop by the Black Mountain for a swim. Put your goggles on and experience the crystal-clear water.
Continue past the Venetian Akrotiri Lighthouse, entering the majestic caldera of Santorini. Hear about the island from your guide, and fixate your eyes on the spectacular volcanic area of colourful cliffs.
Head toward the hot springs, and let the energy of the volcano fill you up as you swim in the geothermal waters once there. The next stop is Thirassia island, a fishermen’s island ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
Restore your energy levels with a menu featuring chicken fillet, traditional Greek dips, beans, stuffed vine leaves, Greek salad, and fruits. End the cruise in the old harbour of Ammoudi, whilst there might be some spare time for a pit stop at Agios Nikolaus before disembarkation too.
The sunset option visits the same places but in reverse order, beginning in Ammoudi and ending in Vlychada. On the sunset cruise, enjoy your meal in the hidden coves of the Black Mountain before marveling at Santorini's magical sunset.
