1. Santorini Sunset Cruise in the Caldera waters

Santorini’s beauty, the southern coast’s attractions, the thermal springs of the Volcano area, and all the other well-known locations in the caldera basin are all worth seeing. Choose from semi-private or private alternatives to enjoy a famous sunset while afloat on a luxury Yacht or Catamaran. A once-in-a-lifetime experience shared with life partners, family, friends, or business partners.

Top places (TIP: If you want to see everything, schedule a half-day cruise on a motor yacht/RIB or a full-day tour on a Catamaran or Sailing Boat):

The most famous beach on Santorini is the Volcanic Red Beach. These rock formations’ color and structure are a product of the island’s history of volcanic eruptions. Santorini’s Red Beach is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and unique beaches on the island, distinguished by its color! The beach is especially suitable for snorkelers because of the untamed scenery and interesting marine life.

White Beach and Limestone: The sand is not white, as the name implies, but rather black. The numerous white pebbles and massive white rocks give this beach its name. The coast is shallow, and the water is extremely clear, making a refreshing swim quite appealing! White Beach, in stark contrast to its red colored sister, is a wonder in its own way.

Mesa Pigadia is a little bay encircled by spectacular volcanic rocks that provide protection from the fierce north winds. Swimming and relaxation are both possible in this region. Furthermore, the caved constructions known as “syrmata,” which were erected by local fisherman to secure their boats during the winter, lend a beautiful touch to the natural beauty of the environment with their colorful doors. For the more brave, there is also a cave that leads to White Beach.

The black lava rocks of Black Mountain are prehistoric masterpieces with strange and unusual patterns. This location in the island’s south is inaccessible by car. A boat journey is the only way to see the coast’s volcanic magnificence.

You’ll want to make sure you have your camera ready to photograph this rock formation, which is known as Indian face rock. Indian rock, located in the south of the island, is a unique rock formation that some compare to an Indian profile, while others see the face of Spyridon Marinatos, the archaeologist who found the archaeological site of Akrotiri.

The Venetian Lighthouse is located next to the Indian Rock on the island’s southwest edge, just past the historic village of Akrotiri. It looks south, away from the caldera, and onto the deep blue expanse of open sea. This lighthouse is reputed to be one of Greece’s best. Built in 1892 to run on oil, it has since been modified to run on electricity and is still in operation today.

As the yacht sails close the shore, take in the view of Santorini’s two islands (Palaia Kameni and Nea Kameni), which were produced by black lava. The Volcano (underwater) is responsible for the island’s current structure and morphology, making it one of the most essential aspects and attractions of Santorini. Santorini was formerly a much larger, round island, hence its name, Strogili (=circular), before various volcanic explosions occurred throughout the years, some of which were undersea.

In addition, the famed Hot Springs, located in the foothills of Palaia Kameni island, are known for their therapeutic properties. They are mild warm and full of iron-rich waters. You can relax in a different mud bath while admiring the breathtaking view of the Caldera on the other side.

Views from the rim of the caldera: Admire the incredible and massive cliffs and the Caldera rim from the water, as well as the magnificent white-washed villages located atop Santorini’s cliffs. While on a ship in Santorini, this is the greatest backdrop for your photos.

Thirasia Island is a small island off the coast of Santorini, just one nautical mile away from the village of Oia. Thirasia is a peaceful, historic island with a bygone period vibe that values history and authenticity. Thirasia is similar to Santorini in many ways, including the unique terrain morphology, the architectural architecture of dwellings and churches, and the breathtaking views.

The island of Aspronisi (Greek for “white island”) is a small uninhabited rocky island located within the Santorini caldera, just west of Santorini and the Kameni islands, and south of Thirassia. The huge Minoan eruption in the 2nd millennium BC created the island, which was then gradually built up by subsequent volcanic activity. The name Aspronisi comes from the fact that the island is partially made up of white pumice. The islet has two pebble beaches and a tiny harbour, however the island is dominated by sheer cliffs, making landings difficult.

Ammoudi Bay and St Nicholas Islet: Ammoudi is Oia’s lovely harbor, a little village with only a few traditional structures constructed around the natural bay. There are port services and a few pubs in Ammoudi. During the summer, several fishing and excursion boats moor there, creating a very picturesque landscape. Ammoudi is surrounded by imposing steep red cliffs and is regarded one of Santorini’s most attractive places.

The St. Nicholas islet is a rocky little island about 20 meters off the coast that serves as a swimming target. This small rocky island is well-known for its platform from which you can leap or dive into the Aegean Sea’s crystal-clear waters (depth over 1,000m).

Armeni Bay: On Santorini’s northwest coast, below the beautiful village of Oia, is the charming Armeni cove, which gives scenic views of the caldera and the nearby island of Therasia. It is a safe area to drop anchor a few meters south of Ammoudi Bay and is accessible by boats.

Eftapedes Saints Cave Chapel: To the east of Armeni beach is the secret chapel of Agii Eftapedes (The Holy Seven Youths of Ephesus), which can only be reached by boat. This little chapel is the oldest in Oia, dating back over 200 years. The cave where the Holy Seven Youths of Ephesus managed to hide rescued them from an attack.

Embark on a luxury motor yacht or sailing boat for a once-in-a-lifetime cruise on your own private and exclusive yacht!

A fantastic sail to the Balos Lagoon and the island of Gramvousa.

Balos is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches and Crete’s most photographed beach. Balos is known for its untamed natural beauty, stunning exotic surroundings, turquoise waters, and pink-white sand colored by millions of crushed shells and corals. The natural splendor of the area produces a one-of-a-kind and exotic scene. The water gets deeper and colder beyond the rocks at the lagoon’s edge, making it perfect for snorkeling. The Natura 2000 program protects the lagoon and the surrounding area, which contains unusual vegetation and animals. Eleonora falcons, shags, and cormorants make their homes in the area’s caverns. Furthermore, the area serves as a haven for the endangered monk seal and loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). These few hours in such a beautiful location will stay with you forever.

Loutro is a quaint, peaceful and quiet small seaside village on the south coast of Crete accessed only by sea or on foot, making the area ideal for those who seek to destress, reconnect, and reset. It was the site of the ancient city of Phoenix and was the port of Ancient Anopolis. Later, it became the “winter” port for Sfakia, due to the fact that the enclosed bay and the small island at its entrance create a natural harbor where ships can be safe even in very bad weather. The amphitheatrical bay, lying right by the sea, boasts a unique waterfront made of whitewashed buildings, blue windows, and pink blossomed bougainvillea. A unique reminder of the Cycladic landscape… but on Crete!

Considered one of the most captivating beaches in Crete, Glyka Nera Beach is a remote destination on the southwestern coast of Crete, only accessible by foot or boat. A spectacular beach, protected from the wind, has beautiful crystalline water. Sea water is generally cold because of the springs, even in midsummer. Nevertheless, the splendid fine pebble beach is worth visiting for its secluded and romantic atmosphere, as well as the dramatic surrounding scenery with rocky cliffs rising up to 500 meters above the shore or the clear freshwater springs that flow into the sea.
