Santorini Caldera Traditional Cruise with Lunch or Dinner

Enjoy the beautiful Aegean waters with this Santorini Caldera Traditional Cruise. You'll board a traditional boat and explore the landscapes that surround the islands.

Description

Our traditional boat trip around the Santorini Caldera has two different options. You can choose to start the cruise in the morning or opt for the afternoon departure to experience the sunset.

Morning Cruise

Pickup from your hotel will be arranged to take you to the port. Onboard a traditional boat, you will sail into the Aegean Sea.

The boat will anchor near Red Beach and White Beach for swimming and snorkeling. You will then pass by the 19th-century Akrotiri Lighthouse on Black Mountain and see the Indian rock formation.

The tour continues to the Palia Kameni coast for a refreshing dip in volcanic thermal pools known for their skin benefits. Following that, lunch will be served on the coast of Therasia, which includes chicken, tzatziki, beans, fig leaves, salad, fruit, and a soft drink or white wine.

You will return to the port approximately 5 hours after departure.

Afternoon Cruise

The afternoon cruise follows the same itinerary but in reverse. After hotel pickup, you'll go to Therasia Island for a scenic view and swimming.

Next, a visit to Palia Kameni for thermal pool bathing is scheduled. The tour will also pass by the Black Mountain, the Santorini lighthouse, and finish with views of the Red and White Beaches.

As sunset approaches, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset before returning to the port approximately 5 hours after pickup.

Type of Boat

On days with high winds, a catamaran may be used for safety instead of a traditional wooden boat.

Hotel pickup

This activity includes pickup from hotels in Santorini, with confirmation of the exact pickup time typically one hour before departure.

Cruise without a Meal

If you prefer to enjoy your cruise without a meal onboard, alternative options are available for stunning landscape views.
