Overview

Today takes you on a semi-private catamaran cruise around the island. Your first stop will be at the Red Beach to swim and sun, followed by a second stop at the White Beach to take in all the distinctive-colored sands of Santorini and make sure you've gotten plenty of beach time.

After your second swim, barbecue will be served onboard while you sail past landmarks at Aspronisi, the Ancient Lighthouse, Indian Rock, and the prehistoric city at Akrotiri, hidden away at the southern tip of Santorini. These ruins are the site of some of the Bronze Age’s most advanced settlements, which prospered for centuries before being destroyed by a great volcanic eruption in the mid-second millennium BC.

Top it off by dropping anchor at a spot below the cliffs of Oia to watch the sunset from the water, with just you and your shipmates away from the crowds.
