Program details

Sail into the heart of Santorini’s volcanic caldera to experience a fiery sunset that will linger long in the memory.

HIGHLIGHTS:


* Sunset cruise on a traditional Greek caïque sailboat

* Dinner at a local taverna on Thirassia Island

* Sail through Santorini’s volcanic landscape


Hop aboard a traditional Greek caïque sailboat for a stunning cruise around Santorini’s most breathtaking spots. Hugging the western coastline of the island, we follow a route between two volcanic islets in the centre of the caldera. A huge volcanic eruption thousands of years ago left much of Santorini destroyed, leaving four islands characterised by dramatic sheer cliffs.


Once we arrive at Nea Kameni, the larger of the two isles, we visit the crater where you can hike along the rim. Sail on to the hot springs on Palia Kameni where the sulphuric water is warmer than 30 degrees and said to have healing properties for skin.


We head to Thirassia, the westernmost of the four islands, and then to Oia, the northernmost village on Santorini. Whilst on the island you will be treated to dinner accompanied by local wine. The real show then begins on the sail back when the sun sets over the caldera painting the sky tones of fiery orange.
