Experience the #1 Sunset Cruise in Greece – Voted Best of the Best for 2025 & 2026

Discover the beauty of Santorini through a unique cruise, enjoying crystal-clear waters, mesmerizing landscapes, swimming, snorkeling, and authentic flavors of Greek cuisine. Every moment on deck is designed to offer you comfort, safety, and unforgettable experiences.

The cruise starts from the picturesque Vlychada marina.

You will sail towards the northern part of the island, enjoying the magical views of the caldera.

Next, the cruise continues to the famous Red Beach, where you will have the chance to admire the stunning red cliffs, which were formed by a volcanic eruption. Their characteristic color is due to the oxidation of iron. We stop for swimming, snorkeling and to capture unique photos in the crystal-clear waters.

Shortly after, we arrive at White Beach, full of small caves, pumice, black minerals, and grey volcanic sand. The white color of the beach comes from limestone, while the green color seen on the rocks is due to the oxidation of copper. The beach offers privacy, as it is accessible only by boat.

Next, we sail to Mesa Pigadia for more swimming and snorkeling. Here, a delicious BBQ menu is served on the catamaran, providing an authentic culinary experience at sea.

The route then follows the Caldera coastline, including Imerovigli, Firostefani and Fira. We then pass by the Venetian Lighthouse and Black Mountain, enjoying the impressive panoramic view of the Caldera.

The sailing continues to the Hot Springs where the natural volcanic waters, enriched with sulfur and magnesium, provide a unique sea spa experience.

Before concluding, we head to Thirassia Island, where we stop for swimming and snorkeling. Thirasia is a traditional settlement with around 200 residents, resembling Santorini 50 years ago. Visitors swim and snorkel, while a BBQ menu is served on board the catamaran.

The cruise ends with a return to Ammoudi port, leaving guests with unforgettable memories of a unique sailing experience on Santorini’s turquoise waters.

Pick Up information

We will send you a message with the exact location and time for the pickup, after the booking.
The pick-up happens with a Mini Bus, at least one hour before the start time of the cruise and the pickup location might be a short walking distance from your hotel.

Are you a Cruise Ship Guest visiting Santorini?

Most tender boats drop you off at the Old Port of Fira, but we can't pick you up from there since there is no road access.
You will need to take the cable car to reach our office in Fira and be there at least one hour before the start of our sailing cruise.
Let us know what time the tender starts and gets back to your cruise ship. We need to make sure that you have enough time to return.

Swimming Information

We do not drop you off at any beach. The Hot Springs are rather warm and the water temperature varies per season. To reach the Hot Springs you need to swim about 100m of open water.

Vessel, Duration & Itinerary

We reserve the right to modify or cancel the route due to bad weather, or to use an equivalent vessel based on availability. Cruise duration may also vary throughout the season to align with sunset times.
