Santorini Private Catamaran Sailing Cruise with BBQ and Drinks

4.9 (493) 🕑 5 hours Free cancellation

After pickup from your hotel, travel to Vlychada port, board your vessel, and cast off for a day of adventure. Sail first to the red beach at Akrotiri, a shoreline setting that gets its name from the iron-rich mineral formations in the local rocks. Continue from there to the aptly-named White Beach, a sandy setting that’s only reachable by boat. You may get the chance to swim and snorkel in the area’s crystal-clear waters. Depart the White Beach and continue cruising toward the lighthouse, passing beneath the island’s Indian Rocks, a series of otherworldly geological formations. Sail beneath the whitewashed houses of Fira and Imerovigli, seeming to hang from the nearby cliffs, and check out the volcanic islands of Palea and Nea Kameni off in the distance. Then proceed near to the new volcano, where you’ll have the chance to soak in undersea hot springs with warm, sulfur-rich waters. From here you’ll float over to Palea Kameni to enjoy more time on the island’s secluded beaches and to dig into a delicious barbecue meal with beers, local wine, and soft drinks. If you’ve booked the sunset cruise, you’ll get to watch the sun sink into the Aegean, too. Return to Vlychada, where your chauffeur will bring you back to your hotel.

What you'll see & do

  • One of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Its distinct red coloration is caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil. Stop to take some photos.
