Your catamaran tour begins at Santorini’s Old Port, the main tender port for cruise ship passengers. It’s especially convenient if you’re arriving by cruise ship, as you’ll skip the long cable car lines—your excursion starts right where you arrive: Santorini's Old Port.
Set sail into Santorini’s stunning caldera and glide past the fascinating volcanic islands of Palea and Nea Kameni, where dramatic cliffs and deep blue waters tell the story of the island’s breathtaking origins.
At the famous Hot Springs, we will make a 20–30 minute stop for a unique swim in the warm volcanic waters. Enjoy this natural thermal experience, rich in minerals, and take in the incredible views of Santorini’s dramatic caldera landscape.
Near White Beach, at Mesa Pigadia, we will stop for 1 hour and 30 minutes to enjoy swimming and snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, followed by a delicious BBQ meal freshly prepared on board. Savour a full Greek feast with drinks, while relaxing on deck and taking in the breathtaking scenery.
Enjoy a stop for swimming and snorkelling near the magnificent Red Beach of Santorini, famous for its dramatic volcanic cliffs and unique red lava-sand landscape. Dive into crystal-clear waters and admire one of the island’s most iconic natural wonders.
Your catamaran experience concludes where it began, with drop-off at Santorini’s Old Port.

About Santorini
Santorini is a crescent of volcanic cliffs in the Aegean, where whitewashed villages and blue domes look over a flooded caldera to famous sunsets.
The island is the rim of an ancient volcano whose eruption left a vast caldera filled by the sea. On its edge, Fira, the main town, and the clifftop villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani cling to the slopes, while Oia, at the northern tip, is celebrated for its sunset views over windmills and whitewashed houses.
Top-ranked sights in Santorini: Red Beach, White Beach, Santorini Volcano.
