Itinerary

The experience begins with pickup from selected locations around Santorini and transfer to the departure point. After boarding the catamaran, the cruise sets sail around the caldera, passing dramatic volcanic cliffs and coastal landmarks that are best appreciated from the sea.

One of the first major stops is near the Hot Springs, where guests have time to swim in the volcanic waters. The cruise continues past the island’s distinctive coastline, including views of Red Beach and White Beach. Additional swimming and snorkeling opportunities are provided in sheltered areas with clear water, allowing guests to enjoy the marine environment and unique volcanic scenery.

During the cruise, a barbecue meal is prepared and served onboard, accompanied by drinks. As the afternoon transitions into evening, the catamaran positions itself for sunset viewing, providing panoramic views of the caldera and surrounding islands before returning to port and concluding the experience with transfer back to the original pickup locations.

Who is this experience best for

This cruise is ideal for travelers looking to combine sightseeing, swimming, dining, and sunset viewing in a single Santorini experience. It is well suited to couples, groups of friends, and visitors who want to see the island’s volcanic coastline from a different perspective. The combination of onboard dining, multiple swim stops, and sunset scenery also makes it appealing to first-time visitors seeking a comprehensive sailing excursion.

Insider notes

Guests are required to remove their shoes before boarding the catamaran. Swim stops take place offshore, as boats in Greece cannot dock directly on the beaches. Bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, swimwear, and a light jacket for the evening portion of the cruise is recommended. The exact route and timing of stops may vary depending on weather and sea conditions to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
