√ Excursions in Santorini: sailing tours and cruises

The cruise passes close to the Red and White beaches before going to the Volcano, and then Hot Springs and Palea Kameni for a swim.
Afterwards, we will go around the White Island (Aspro Nisi) and to Firon Port at Thirassia for refreshments, or perhaps a walk up, or donkey-ride, to the village of Manolas.
Followed by sailing to Amoudi Port at Oia, and then around the Eastern coastline of Thira Island.

The cruise begins in the late afternoon and as we pass close to Akrotiri, the Red and White beaches and the Cape of Faros, we can see the wonderful colours of the strata formations brought about by the various volcanic eruptions experienced by Santorini over thousand of years.
We will sail around into the Caldera and pass by the Volcano and Palea Kameni, which will present perfect photographic opportunities of the spectacular Caldera cliffs.
Then, to Thirassia Island where you may have an excellent dinner, or perhaps you would prefer to go to Ammoudi Port below Oia, before rejoining the cruiser to experience the world famous Santorinian Sunset whilst enjoying a complimentary bottle of wine.
Afterwards, we will return leisurely to Vlihada Port.
