Santorini, Red Beach, and Akrotiri Cruise with BBQ and Drinks

5.0 (7837) 🕑 5 hours Free cancellation

Make your way to the marina in time to catch your sailboat. Along with a small group of fellow travelers, go aboard and find a comfortable spot on board. The boat sets out for the Red Beach, located adjacent to the historical village of Akrotiri and the White Beach. Sail past the Indian Rocks to the tip of the island, marked by the historic Venetian Lighthouse. Admire views of the neighboring small Greek islands and the glittering Aegean Sea. Sail towards the island of Apronisi, passing close by the caldera coast for views of the cliffside towns of Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, Old Port, and Fira. Continue to the volcanic hot springs, where you can take a dip in the sulfurous waters. Cruise around the Thirasia Island and the island of Nea Kameni, where you can dive off the boat to snorkel in one of the protected coves. Along the way, eat a buffet of barbecue accompanied by cold Greek salads, soft drinks, and wines made on the island. After the conclusion of the cruise, end up back at the marina. A driver is available to drop you anywhere on the island.
