Santorini Caldera Traditional Cruise with Lunch or Dinner

Experience the enchanting Aegean waters with this Santorini Caldera Traditional Cruise. You will embark on a traditional boat to discover the breathtaking landscapes that envelop the islands.

Description

This traditional boat excursion around the Santorini Caldera presents two distinct options, allowing you to select the best fit for your schedule and preferences. You can opt for a morning departure to fully enjoy the day, or, if you wish to witness the spectacular sunset of Greece, the afternoon option is available.

Morning Cruise

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel, followed by a trip to the port. Here, you will embark on a traditional boat ready to navigate the stunning Aegean Sea.

During the cruise, we will make a stop near Red Beach and White Beach for a chance to swim in the crystal-clear waters, perfect for snorkelling. A dazzling array of colorful fish awaits beneath the surface.

As we continue sailing through the Aegean, you will glimpse the historic Akrotiri Lighthouse perched on the majestic Black Mountain, as well as the striking Indian rock formation.

Next, we will visit the Palia Kameni coast, famous for its therapeutic thermal volcanic pools, offering a unique opportunity to relax in mineral-rich waters that are beneficial for the skin.

The journey continues to the coast of Therasia, where a delicious lunch awaits, featuring chicken, tzatziki, beans, fig leaves, salad, fruit, alongside a soft drink or white wine.

After a rejuvenating stop, we will return to the port, concluding our 5-hour adventure.

Afternoon Cruise

Choosing the afternoon cruise, you will follow a similar itinerary but in reverse order. Pickup from your hotel will commence the journey towards Therasia Island, where you can admire the picturesque coastline from the boat and enjoy a swim in the unspoiled emerald waters.

We will then proceed to Palia Kameni for a soak in the luxurious thermal volcanic pools. The route redirects us past the Black Mountain and the Santorini lighthouse, accompanied by views of the majestic Indian Rock and the beautiful Red and White Beaches.

As the tour unfolds and the sun descends toward the horizon, witness the landscape transformed into a stunning palette of reds and oranges. While taking in the breathtaking Mediterranean sunset, a delicious dinner will be served before we conclude the excursion and return to the shore, 5 hours after departure.

Type of Boat

On certain days with strong winds, for safety reasons, the vessel may switch to a catamaran instead of a traditional wooden boat.

Hotel Pickup

This activity includes pickup services from hotels across Santorini. We will reach out to confirm your specific pickup time, usually an hour prior to the activity's start.

Cruise without a Meal
