Fabulous

We had a fabulous day on the water with the crew of the Caldera. The drinks were plentiful and the lunch was delicious. We all agreed this was the best excursion we did this trip.

This experience was the...

This experience was the highlight of our time in Santorini!! Our catamaran from Spirdakos was in pristine condition. Our crew- Yanis, Vito and Zina were fantastic. They were professional and attended to our every need. We saw amazing scenery. Had several stops for swimming and they cooked us a fantastic lunch- one of our best meals on the trip. We saw lots of catamarans from this company on the water and they are clearly a very well run, organized company with amazing boats and great crews. I usually have sea sickness and had none on this boat. This will be one of our best memories of our trip to Greece. Worth every penny!! I can’t say enough about how amazing it was. And our driver Kostas that got us back and forth to the dock was awesome too!! Gave us some history of the island and was also waiting for us after our boat ride. Highly recommend this excursion!!!
