Santorini
Whitewashed buildings, blue domes and volcanic landscapes
The most famous Greek island, also known as Thira, is located in the southern Aegean Sea. From the black sands of Vlychada beach to the volcanic wonders of Kammeni and Nea Kammeni, and the vibrant beach life of Perivolos, our cruise promises an experience that will stay with you long after you’ve left the shores of Santorini.
Why embark on the Santorini cruise
Renowned for its dramatic black sand and towering cliffs, Vlychada beach will leave a long-lasting impression. Step ashore and feel the unique texture of the volcanic sands under your feet as you marvel at the striking contrast of colors against the azure sea. Dive into the crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim or simply relax and soak up the sun on the beach’s tranquil shores.
As you approach Vlychada beach, you’ll be greeted by the sight of the majestic cliffs rising dramatically over the shoreline, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that feels almost lunar in its beauty. The contrast between the white cliffs and the deep blue waters creates a mesmerizing tableau, perfect for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Inside info: Many locals make it a point to spend time barefoot on the beach, allowing the black sand to work its magic on their bodies and minds. As legend has it, the black sand of Vlychada Beach holds mysterious properties, imbued with ancient energy during the volcanic eruptions that shaped Santorini millennia ago.
A glimpse into the raw power of nature’s fury, formed by millennia of volcanic activity, these islands are a testament to the forces that shape the surface of our planet. Here, you can peer into the depths of the caldera and witness firsthand the power of the Earth’s molten core.
From the vibrant hues of the volcanic rock to the crystal-clear waters that lap at their shores, every aspect of these islands reflects the awe-inspiring power of nature. Take a moment to pause and soak in the tranquility of your surroundings, marveling at the stark contrast between the fiery origins of the islands and the serene beauty that they now possess.
Our tip: Experience the therapeutic waters and rejuvenating properties of the hot springs. They are the result of volcanic activity beneath the surface of the Aegean Sea, which heats the mineral-rich waters to temperatures ranging from warm to comfortably hot.
At Perivolos Beach, the fun never stops, with an array of beach bars and clubs offering endless entertainment options. Dive into the refreshing waters for a swim or simply lounge on a sunbed, soaking up the Mediterranean sun while sipping on ice-cold cocktails.
When the sun sets, the beach transforms into a vibrant party scene, with music pumping and revelers dancing under the stars until the early hours of the morning.
But the excitement doesn’t end at Perivolos Beach – nearby, you will find the famous beach bar Wet Stories, where the party continues into the night. With its lively atmosphere, DJ sets, and delicious drinks, Wet Stories is the perfect place to let loose and dance the night away in true Santorini style.
Our tip: Keep an eye out for special events, themed parties, live music performances or guest DJs spinning tunes.
As neither Oia nor Fira have a port, we can arrange a transfer so you can visit these small towns built on high rocks overlooking the volcano (caldera). Perched on the edge of the caldera, these charming places offer panoramic views of the volcanic landscape and the shimmering Aegean Sea.
Wander through the narrow cobblestone streets, where whitewashed buildings adorned with blue-domed churches and bougainvillea-covered balconies create the quintessential Cycladic backdrop.
if you choose the overnight optoion of this cruise, prepare to be captivated by one of Santorini’s most iconic sights: the sunset. The sky erupts in a symphony of colors as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a magical glow over the caldera and the surrounding villages.
Keep in mind: You’ll have the chance to marvel at Oia and Fira from afar, on our way to Kammeni and Nea Kammeni.
