Itinerary
Pass by: Setting sail from Ammoudi bay, right below Oia, or from the Port of Vlychada.
Pass by: Cruise past Thirasia Island, admiring its dramatic caldera from sea level, with views of the traditional taverns and historic harbor houses nestled in Korfos Bay.
Stop at the "Hot Springs" for a swim session in the sulfurous waters, which offer a natural spa. This is the old volcano of Santorini, and a very popular site. Expect other boats around. We do not drop you off. You need to swim 100m of open water. The springs are warm, depending on the season.
Pass by: Sail below the Indian Rocks near the caves and rock formations, characteristic to the Aegean landscape.
We reach a quiet cove for our third and last stop for swimming and snorkeling. Enjoy your own privacy away from crowded locations while our crew prepares on board a delicious meal consisting of a buffet/ snack menu with traditional dishes and Greek appetizers, accompanied by local white wine and beverages. We do not drop you off the beach.
Pass by: One of the most beautiful beaches of the island. Its distinct red coloration is caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil. This is a great photo shooting opportunity!
Pass by: White Beach, which is only accessible by boat. A stop for swimming and snorkeling is highly recommended. No one can resist the crystal clear blue waters with the rich underwater environment and reefs. We slow down to take photoso.
Pass by: Our experience will end at the Port of Vlychada or at Ammoudi Bay.
Pass by: We pass the active volcano which is called Nea Kameni Island. We explain the history of Santorini and the explosion. We take photos during this once in a life time experience.

Traveler reviews
The experience really...
The experience really was amazing! Immaculate staff, boat, food, drinks and beautiful places. Super recommend!
Luxury semi private catamaran cruise around Santorini Greece
A wonderful semi private tour was excellent lived it the staff were attentive and informative a wonderful afternoon
Very enjoyable!
Hotel drop off and pick up, well organized, friendly staff, good food, relaxing sail. Plenty of room on clean boat to chill. Even if weather is not the greatest, still a nice way to see the island. Towels and blankets provided as the afternoon cooled.
Birthday Celebration
We booked the Luxury sunset cruise. From start to end, the experience was fabulous. I enjoyed the intimate setting of less people on board.The staff were 100% professional. The views were breathtaking 😍, picture post card. Vito, gave interesting facts on our tour. The chef prepared an amazing delicious dinner. The crew sang happy birthday to me. Hands down one of the best catarmans I've been on. Would highly recommend this excursion/experience.
Truly Exceptional
An AMAZING time! My wife and I are not swimmers. However, we wanted to try something new and wonderful to celebrate our recent retirement (and my wife's recent birthday). The trip transformed into a bucket list item that I didn't know I had! (today, it made the list and was happy to check it off at the same time 😊) The crew was Exceptional. Safety was a primary and constant focus, but did not restrict the pleasure. We sat at the front of the catamaran to take the sites. Each site's significance was explained. Some cruise mates went snorkeling, others went for a swim, while the breeze caressed us on a perfect weather day. We chatted with a couple from Texas, helped celebrate a young lady's birthday, and took pictures for ourselves as the sunset filled the background. Do it! Do not hesitate. The Spiridakos team will give you an experience of a lifetime!
