Vlychada Marina is a picturesque harbour located on the southern coast of Santorini, in the quaint village of Vlychada. For this cruise, you can meet your experienced guide directly at the starting point at the marina, or you can choose to be picked up from your accommodation in Santorini (please specify when booking). You’ll be welcomed on board the luxury boat, either on a morning or afternoon cruise. Then, the captain will set sail on the beautiful Aegean Sea.
On your tour, you’ll travel to several picturesque destinations in Santorini. The first stop is Red Beach, a renowned natural wonder located on the southern coast of the island. Its name originates from the unique red hue of the towering cliffs and volcanic pebbles that frame the beach. The captain will stop near the beach so you can capture some photographs. You’ll then continue to White Beach, another captivating beach known for its striking white cliffs and pebbles. This beach is only accessible by boat, making it a more remote destination.
After some more photos, you’ll travel to Mesa Pigadia, the first swimming stop on the tour. The guide will provide snorkelling equipment so you can explore the rich underwater reefs and marine life. When you return to the boat you’ll sail past the Indian Rock, the Venetian Light House of Akrotiri. You’ll also pass by Aspronisi, a small nearby island which offers glorious views of the Caldera and the cliff-hanging white houses. As you pass these iconic sites, the guide will share insights about the history of the island.
At the next stop, you’ll visit the Volcano and its hot springs. Enjoy a natural spa by swimming in the thermal waters, which are said to have therapeutic properties. The final stop on the tour is a secluded private bay, where you will jump into the turquoise waters and swim once again. On board, a delicious meal will be prepared for you, consisting of BBQ chicken fillet, pasta with tomato sauce, Greek salad, vine leaf rolls, tzatziki dips, bread, soft beverages and white wine. If you choose the afternoon option, you’ll be treated to a glorious view of the famous Santorini sunset. At the end of the half-day cruise, you’ll return to Vlychada Marina, with a return transfer to your accommodation.
