Sailing Cruise in Santorini with Seafood BBQ dinner/lunch on board and Drinks
Our cruise starts from Vlychada port and the first stop is at the magnificent volcanic Red Beach where you can swim in crystal clear waters, try snorkeling and admire a jaw-dropping landscape.
Then, as we sail towards the volcano, you have the chance to set eyes on White Beach, which is another spectacular scenery of the island, the admirable lighthouse of Akrotiri and a distinctive rock formation on the caldera cliffs, called The Indian Rock.
At the volcano you will have a unique experience as you can swim in its hot springs that own healing waters and explore the volcanic islets of Palaia Kammeni and Nea Kammeni where the natural colors will amaze you.
Next we sail around the volcano and anchor there in order to take in the splendid view and enjoy a delicious Seafood BBQ lunch or dinner, specially prepared and served from the crew. In the meantime, you can swim or go snorkeling (snorkeling equipment is available on board) in the volcano’s waters.
Afterwards, we sail along the uninhabited Aspronisi Island, opposite of Santorini, and we reach Mesa Pigadia Beach, a lovely peaceful cove, for swimming, snorkeling or just sunbathing on deck.
Finally, we sail back to Vlychada marine. Departure time and arrival time depend on whether you choose the morning or the sunset cruise. If you choose the sunset tour, you will have the opportunity to experience one of the most sought after sunsets in the world while on board.

Wonderful experience!
EXPAND
We booked this cruise during our vacation in Santorini, to end it in the best way ever; the booking was easy through the Santorini View's portal and also the payment was easy to do. We got any kind of communication regarding the meeting point etc via email. The cruise was fantastic, captain George and sailor Maria were very kind to us and they told the story of any place we visited. We made two stops in a less crowded spots to swim and the water was wonderful. We had our dinner in the caldera and then we came back to the Vlychada port looking at a wonderful sunset. The dinner was very good and enough for all the partecipants. A wonderful experience that I recommend to all.
