Setting sail from the southern port of Vlychada at noon time and following the coastline we reach the Red Beach in Akrotiri, one of the most beautiful beaches of the island with a distinct red coloration, caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil and that’s where the first swimming stop will take place. Then we head to the White rocky Beach, where you have access only by boat.
A stop for swimming and snorkeling is highly recommended since is difficult to resist to the crystal clear blue waters with the rich underwater environment and reefs. As you enjoy yourselves the attentive crew will prepare freshly on board a delicious dinner consisted of a variety of traditional dishes and Greek “mezedes” (snacks), accompanied with local white wine and beverages. Leaving the White Beach and heading to the Venetian Lighthouse, we sail below the Indian Rocks through caves and rock formations, characteristic to the Aegean landscape. After sailing below the lighthouse the catamaran will turn and enter the Caldera of Santorini. There you will see everything opening in front of your eyes. The picturesque white houses hanging like grapes from the cliffs, the rock formations and the volcanic islands of Palea and Nea Kammeni.
There you will have the chance to sail below the traditional villages of Fira and Imerovigli and the overwhelming rock formations consisted of basalt and pumice. From there you will head to the crater of the volcano, you will sail around it to have a full view of it and stop at the thermal springs for swimming at the sulphurous waters, that offer a natural spa. After swimming at the hot springs the catamaran will sail below Oia to the open sea for you to enjoy a magnificent sunset. Our experience will be concluded in Ammoudi bay, right below Oia.
