Starting location
Vlychada Marina
Starting time 11:00 AM
Begin your day with a luxurious escape along the dazzling shores of Santorini!
Experience the beauty of Santorini’s coastline on a relaxed, full-day semi-private cruise, thoughtfully designed for couples, small groups, or solo travelers seeking both adventure and comfort. With a limited number of guests on board, the cruise offers a more intimate and tranquil atmosphere, allowing you to explore some of the island’s most breathtaking spots in peace.
The 10-hour cruise begins at 11:00 a.m. from Vlychada Marina and concludes at the same port just after sunset, following an itinerary that perfectly blends swimming, sightseeing, and relaxation. The adventure starts with a sail toward the island’s southern coastline, with the first stop being at the famous Red Beach, where you will have 20 minutes to swim in its unique waters. The cruise then continues past the striking White Beach for a photo stop, before arriving at Mesa Pigadia Beach, where you will enjoy another 20-minute swim in its peaceful bay. Afterward, the tour heads toward the charming island of Therasia for a 90-minute stop. There, a complimentary transfer takes you to the island’s main village, allowing you to explore its authentic charm at your own pace. Alternatively, for those interested, an optional wine tasting experience at a local winery is also available for an additional fee.
Next, the cruise heads toward its final and perhaps most iconic destination, the majestic Santorini Volcano. The vessel will anchor there for a full hour, providing you the perfect setting to savor a traditional Greek dinner against the dramatic and awe-inspiring volcanic backdrop. As dinner comes to a close and the day gracefully winds down, the cruise sails back toward Vlychada, offering a spectacular view of the famous Santorini sunset from the peaceful waters near Akrotiri, for an unforgettable finale to an extraordinary day.
To ensure your comfort throughout the experience, the cruise includes convenient round-trip transportation from your accommodation, as well as complimentary snorkeling equipment for those eager to explore the underwater world. Additionally, a delicious BBQ meal will be served on board, featuring a choice of chicken skewers, sea bream, or a vegetarian skewer, while an open bar will be available throughout the cruise, offering a selection of local wines, refreshing beers, and soft drinks to complement your meal. Guests will also enjoy a variety of snacks, including rusks, cherry tomatoes, olives, breadsticks, chips, and a fresh fruit salad with yogurt. Ultimately, this all-inclusive journey masterfully combines exhilarating exploration, luxurious comfort, and delightful cuisine into one truly unforgettable day on the Aegean Sea.
