Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Not even a mile away the romantic settlement of Oia, lies the island of Thirassia, for which it seems that time has stopped in another era.
An amazing opportunity for every guest to swim and snorkel at the turquoise waters of Thirassia Island's bay which is almost always calm.
2
The volcano of Santorini. The one that erupted in 1.600 BC and created the amazing caldera of Santorini. The black rocks look like crystal where a dive at the therapeutic waters of the Sulfur Springs.
3
Stop 3
After Thirassia Island we continue our cruise to the Nea Kameni islet. One of the two volcanic islands that are preserved until today, filled with black rocks made from lava, yellow ones covered with sulfur and white rocks covered with ash from the volcano's eruption. Diving into the volcano's waters is an amazing experience since you find yourself floating due to the amount of salt in the water which is way above the average.
4
You are at the south side of Santorini where at the very end the Lighthouse of Santorini is located, a charming lighthouse tower that “waves” back at sailors that are passing by its bay.
5
One of the most beautiful secluded beaches of Santorini comes up next. Surrounded by rocks this black beach has crystal clear waters and it is lovely to swim or snorkel here.
6
Stop 6
Pass by
The beach colors change as your cruise passes from the Red to the White Beach. This beach is accessible only by boat so get ready to see yet another coastal miracle of Santorini.
7
Stop 7
The impressive volcanic Red Beach is the perfect representation of what the volcanic eruption created in Santorini’s landscape. Snorkeling at the magnificent turquoise waters and sightseeing at Red beach's scarlet rocks from aboard. This stop is also about gastronomy on board, an unforgettable dinner experience made with the finest ingredients. Do not forget to take photos!
8
You will have the chance to view from the sea and take memorable photos at one of the oldest ports of Santorini located at the center of the island.
9
