Right here’s an summary:

What to Anticipate on a Santorini Cruise

We may summarize the expertise by saying it’s a Catamaran Expertise match for a King.

The luxurious catamaran cruise lasts roughly 5 hours and begins and ends on the port of Vlychada within the southern a part of the island. A return lodge switch can be included.

There are three stops alongside the way in which for swimming within the crystal clear waters of a caldera, snorkeling, Greek meals, drinks and as many delicacies as you want, all the time served by very attentive {and professional} workers.

The expertise itself begins even earlier than boarding the catamaran, as a personal minibus will decide you up out of your lodge if you want, and all through the journey, the eye of your entire crew will make you’re feeling like a rock star on a ship cruise… and what a ship!

I couldn’t inform you how a lot a ship like this prices, nevertheless it appears and feels very luxurious!

As soon as on board, the crew treats you to a welcome drink, and also you’ll go away the port to start your journey. You’ll sail by means of the southern Aegean Sea in pleasant temperatures, feasting your eyes on iconic landmarks comparable to White Seashore, Mesa Pigadia Seashore, the Indian Rocks (a volcanic formation that belongs to the so-called Black Mountain), and the spectacular Venetian Lighthouse.

This consists of the primary swim cease at Purple Seashore! Crusing on this primary leg of the journey, you’ll notice that every little thing appears completely different from the catamaran; the unbelievable sea-level surroundings whereas crusing in pure luxurious by means of the Aegean is priceless!

Crusing by means of the Caldera

The primary cease is on the crystal clear waters of Mesa Pigadia seashore. Right here you possibly can take a dip to chill off from the rising temperatures, particularly throughout the morning tour. It is a good spot for snorkeling, and sure, the crew will present every passenger with tools, so all it’s important to do is benefit from the lovely waters.

Again on the catamaran, refresh your self with some water and a chilly beer. On most of those journeys all drinks are included within the value, with wine, beer, water and mushy drinks obtainable. Nevertheless, in case you’re not used to crusing, it’s clever to watch out with alcohol. Belief me, you don’t need one further drink to break an expertise like this. 😉

The subsequent cease is the true spotlight of the journey: the sulfur waters (scorching springs) of the Santorini Caldera. That is the volcanic space of the caldera and the island of Palea Kameni, (swim carefree, there might be no surprises). The lunar-like panorama, mineral-rich sea and inexperienced waters are out of this world. It undoubtedly looks like an open-air spa; nonetheless, the water just isn’t as heat as anticipated, and apparently it’s important to swim nearer to the island to get it. So some areas are hotter than others.

Good to know: When swimming right here, it’s a good suggestion to put on dark-colored swimwear to forestall extreme mineral deposits from altering the colour of your garments.

Therasia Island on the Horizon

The third and ultimate cease is the island of Therasia, the neighboring island of Santorini, the place a buffet lunch or dinner is served, relying on the time of day.

Earlier than consuming, you could have one other likelihood to swim within the crystal clear waters off the island’s coast. I’d say that the ocean right here has the bottom temperature, most likely because of the depth of the ocean. After the swim, you possibly can feast on all types of Greek delicacies comparable to moussaka, tzatziki, dolmadakia, numerous native cheeses and a grilled hen and shrimp BBQ. All this on the catamaran deck, below the summer season Greek solar, with spectacular views of the caldera, whereas anchored on the shore or on the island.

I need to say that the surroundings of the island of Santorini could be very completely different from this facet of the caldera, a view that most individuals won’t ever expertise!

The day ends with an extended sail again to the port of Vlychada, with time to chill out with drinks, music and sunbathing on the catamaran deck… Waoo what a wonderful journey!

I can safely say that these are the most effective 5 hours of your trip, true enjoyment on a luxurious catamaran, in fabulous firm and in such a privileged setting.

Suntan or Santorini Sundown Cruise?

Having skilled each excursions, I need to say that the variations between the morning and afternoon shifts aren’t very vital. In each, you’re having fun with the identical catamaran and the same luxurious expertise on the identical route; you’re visiting the identical paradisiacal locations for a similar period of time; you’re consuming the identical ambrosia and being served by the identical workers.

You may’t go flawed!

Within the morning, individuals appear a little bit extra animated, having fun with the morning solar and the scrumptious meals. I’d say it’s extra of a bunch plan to get pleasure from a morning sail within the solar collectively. It’s a terrific plan for bigger teams and households, as we had been instructed the youthful era appears to understand the daylight extra.

The afternoon catamaran tour nonetheless affords loads of sunshine, nevertheless it’s much less intense than within the morning. Its attraction lies exactly on this “chill vibes” issue and the chance to expertise the well-known sundown from a really privileged spot. In the event you’re conversant in Santorini, you’ll have observed that exercise on the island slows down within the late afternoon to witness one of the idyllic sunsets on the planet.

Time stops, noise dies down, and everybody, particularly us guests, focuses solely on witnessing the solar king’s farewell till the following day. It’s a magical expertise you’ll wish to share with somebody shut, ideally hand-in-hand. 🙂

Olympian Luxurious

Does that imply the morning tour is for teams and the afternoon tour is for {couples}?

Under no circumstances, nevertheless it is perhaps extra about how a lot you wish to sunbathe or get pleasure from a magical sundown, whether or not you’re touring with a bunch or together with your accomplice. Or a bunch of {couples}. Properly, I believe you get the concept.

The very last thing I’d wish to level out, which we’ve agreed with others, is that throughout the five-hour catamaran cruise in Santorini, you’ll really feel like somebody very, very particular. The entire expertise is simply superb, the catamaran appears and looks like an oligarch’s pleasure boat. The crew is attentive to your wants all through the journey, and each the culinary and crusing expertise will make you consider that is what occurs while you win the lottery – you simply can’t go flawed with a beginning value of 120€!

I’ve a sense your analysis might be arduous to search out one other journey like this, however then once more, you possibly can return to Santorini each different yr and deal with your self to the Royal Chariot.
