Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Our first stop on the tour is Red beach, one of the most beautiful and stunning beaches on the island, all of its unique colors! It is located only some steps away from the ancient site of Akrotiri.
The small beach area creates a considerably crowded atmosphere and there are many days when most visitors choose not to visit the beach and instead admire this unique landscape of red and black volcanic rocks from the boat. Snorkeling is highly recommended due to the interesting rock formations one can find at the bottom of the sea.

Stop 2
Pass by
The next stop is White beach with crystalline waters and a sharp contrast to the nearby beach of Kokkini (Red) beach. This beach is accessible by sea only and less popular than the neighboring cove and less crowded. Ideal place for landscape photography.
3
Santorini has a one-of-a-kind natural beauty and wild scenery created by volcanic eruptions. Within the caldera, this activity created the dark-colored islands of Nea and Palea Kameni.
One of the best places to explore in Santorini is Palia Kameni where the hot springs are located.
4
Stop 4
One of the two volcanic islands in the middle of the Santorini Caldera, known as Hot Springs. The temperature difference between the sea and the Hot Springs is approximately 5 degrees Celsius. The water contains sulfur, which is beneficial to the skin.
5
At our next stop, we will have the chance to enjoy three unique places. Immerovigli, Firostefani and Fira old port. Traditional houses, narrow paths, and views of the volcano are prominent features.
There are two ports on Santorini. The Athinios port is for ferry and commercial boats, while the Gialos port, also known as the Old Port of Fira, is only for cruise ship passengers. Gialos is located just below Fira, Santorini’s capital.
