Detailed itinerary

1

Our cruise explores the majestic Caldera, setting sail from Ammoudi, Oia and cruising along the striking coastline. Ammoudi is a picturesque and charming fishing village located c. 300 steps below Oia. The bay is nestled at the base of towering cliffs, and its crystal-clear turquoise waters are a sight to behold. The traditional white-washed buildings, waterfront tavernas and colorful fishing boats add to the idyllic and postcard-worthy scenery.

2

As we cruise along the coastline we will admire the Santorinian Caldera, one of the most iconic and stunning views in the world, with towering cliffs and charming whitewashed villages perched on their slopes; prepare yourselves for some breathtaking views and clicks for a lifetime!
Our next stop will be the picturesque cove of Efta Pedes, for an invigorating swim in its secluded waters. After a short break, we will steer towards the imposing Skaros and continue until we meet Santorini's old port.

Stop 3

Next, we will head towards the volcanic islands of Palea and Nea Kameni, to explore the otherworldly landscape of black sand beaches, rugged cliffs and volcanic craters.
While in the volcanic islands, don’t miss the chance for a quick dive in the sulfuric hot springs, before our captain leads you to a hidden beach in Palea Kameni for a refreshing swim and some cold drinks away from all the crowds!

4

Our next stop is Aspronisi; a small uninhabited islet, whose name translates as "White Island", Aspronisi derives its name from the characteristic rugged white cliffs that plunge into the sea and contrast with the azure waters. Lacking any human intervention and infrastructure, Aspronisi offers visitors a glimpse of the region's raw volcanic origins and beauty.

Stop 5

Our last stop, before heading back, is the island of Thirassia, a traditional fishermen’s island showcasing authentic Greek charm. Located opposite Oia, Thirasia offers a glimpse of traditional Greek island life with its laid-back and serene atmosphere; visitors will enjoy its scenic coastal paths, pristine beaches and waterfront tavernas and cafes.

6

As the sun begins to set, we will take our position in the waters right below Oia, to witness the most memorable sunset of your lives. Lay back on the plush pillows and watch the sea reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors, turning the water into a shimmering golden mirror. End your evening by savoring a glass of local wine or champagne, as we cruise back to shore under the moonlit sky. You will disembark feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, having spent a wonderful day exploring one of the world’s most stunning islands.
