Description

Your luxury cruise begins with hotel pickup and a warm welcome aboard the elegant Beneteau Oceanis 46.1. Set sail along Santorini’s southern shores, where dramatic coastal views await – from the crimson cliffs of Red Beach to the chalky elegance of White Beach.

Pause for a swim near the striking Black Mountain, a peaceful cove perfect for floating, snorkeling, or enjoying a cold drink on deck.

As we sail deeper into the volcanic Caldera, your captain shares fascinating stories of Santorini explosive past. You will then stop at the famed Hot Springs, where warm, mineral-rich waters offer a unique natural spa experience.

At Thirassia Island, dive into the clear Aegean waters or simply sunbathe with a refreshing glass of local wine. A delicious onboard meal of traditional Greek dishes rounds out the journey.

If you opt for the sunset cruise, you will end the day watching the glowing sun melt behind Oia cliffs – a view best enjoyed from the sea.
