How your Santorini Catamaran Tour unfolds
Board your catamaran
Upon pickup, it’s time to head to Vlychada beach, where your captain awaits. Meet your crew and settle in as the catamaran glides out of the marina.
With twin hulls providing a steady ride, you’ll barely feel the waves as you set course along Santorini’s southern coastline.
Be astounded by Red Beach’s beauty
Your first stop brings you face-to-face with one of Santorini’s most photographed natural wonders: Red Beach.
Boasting towering iron-rich cliffs that contrast against the deep blue sea, it’s the perfect backdrop for frame-worthy photos.
Witness historic attractions along the caldera
As you sail along the caldera, you pass by a series of landmarks that tell the story of Santorini’s volcanic past.
From the uninhabited Aspronisi and Indian Rock to Black Mountain and the ancient lighthouse, this is your moment to lounge and take in the ever-changing coastal views.
Swim in the therapeutic hot springs
Next up, you’ll reach Palea Kameni, a volcanic islet where geothermal activity creates natural hot springs right in the Aegean.
Jump in the warm waters for an utterly rejuvenating swim that will stay in your memories forever.
Relax and enjoy Greek delicacies at White Beach
Surrounded by pale pumice cliffs and accessible only by boat, White Beach feels like a tranquil slice of paradise.
And the best part? While you snorkel in its emerald waters, the crew fires up the grill for a proper Greek BBQ. And trust us, there’s no better way to wrap up your day than savoring local treats.
