Itinerary
The Red Beach of Santorini is one of the most famous and beautiful beaches, arguably in all of Greece. It is named for the iron-rich rocks in the cliff's face towering over the beach above you as well as the red sand.
Unlike the more famous Red Beach nearby, White Beach is accessible mainly by boat or a bit of hiking, so it tends to feel quiet and less crowded. The beach itself is made up of coarse sand and white pumice stones, giving it a wild and natural charm.
Mesa Pigadia is one of the isolated beaches of Santorini located around Akrotiri village, It has black pebbles and beautiful crystal clear waters. This beach is ideal for relaxation and to take a break from crowded beaches and villages. Like most of the beaches in the area, it is surrounded by beautiful cliffs. A stop for snorkeling and swimming is also welcome here!
In the lovely, tranquil village of Akrotiri, you can find the well-known lighthouse located on the extreme southwest part of the island, 18 kilometers away from the capital of Santorini. It is considered one of the best and most beautiful lighthouses in the Cyclades. Attuned to the rest of the island, it is an admirable building with whitewashed walls standing on the edge of a high cliff right above the sea. It is, by all means, an idyllic setting.
Aspronisi (literally meaning “White Island”) is a small uninhabited islet in the Santorini caldera, located between Therasia and the main island of Santorini. It was formed from volcanic activity thousands of years ago and is part of the same volcanic complex.
Palea Kameni has not erupted in modern times, but it still hosts thermal activity in the form of fumaroles. It’s considered dormant but active in a geological sense, as it shares the same magmatic system as Nea Kameni.
It is the larger of the two central islets and is the youngest land in Greece, created by eruptions between 1570 and 1950.
Hot Springs & Caldera Bay The volcanic eruption of the late 17th c. BC cut Therasia off from the rest of the landmass, showering it with billions of tons of magma that turned into pumice and ash, increasing its surface area to 9.3 square kilometers. At the same time, the caldera was formed – the sea ravine that links, but also separates, Therasia from its larger, cosmopolitan sister.
The beauty of Oia is unsurpassed. In fact, it is almost impossible to describe in words. Small white houses tier the hillside, interspersed by splashes of rich okra, deep fuchsia, cobalt blue, oyster pink, and earthy red. Smooth winding paths interconnect, interrupted now and then by a small church, and at every corner, there is something new to discover.

Amazing private catamaran tour! The host was friendly, food was excellent, and captain was flexible with the itinerary. We swam, snorkeled, and enjoyed leisure time on the front of the boat. Would not change a thing.
Overall, my experience was truly amazing. The staff provided exceptional service and made us feel truly welcomed and comfortable throughout the whole trip. The food was absolutely delicious—one of the best meals I had during my entire trip. They even brought us to a beautiful spot to watch the sunset. My only complaint is that we didn’t see the sunset in Oia as described on the description of this booking; instead, it was at another location. While that was a bit disappointing, it didn’t take away from what was otherwise an incredible experience.
Thank you for providing your constructive feedback. We reviewed and corrected this oversight so that the next travelers won't experience the same inconvenience.
This private tour was the highlight of our trip! Alkis was patient and thoughtful with the pre-trip planning. Our time was very tight as we were only stopping by Santorini via our cruise ship for a few hours. We provided Alkis and his team the details and they were able to plan it out perfectly! The only challenge we had was totally out of Alkis’ control which is choosing between a long wait to board the cable car or picking the somewhat nerve wrecking donkey ride. We chose the latter. Once we got into one of Alkis’ transportation vehicles, it was a 10/10 afterwards. Special thanks to Theodore, Minos, and Padelis for making this such a memorable trip for my family!
This cruise was the absolute best! The crew was welcoming upon our arrival and took care of our every need. We saw the most beautiful sites, had the best dinner prepared on board the boat and bottomless drinks! We had great music and our kids jumped into the beautiful water. We could not have asked for a better experience to celebrate my birthday!
OMG, this was the highlight of our stay in Santorini. The boat was amazing, but the staff over the top!!! Highly recommend!
An extraordinary day from beginning to end! The Captain and amazing crew as well as drivers were so inviting, attentive, friendly & polite. I can’t say enough great things about them. This is will truly be a an experience to remember, you’ll wish to sail forever…
The Capt. and crew of this boat welcomed my sons and myself with open arms. The boat was beautiful. Every detail of service was given with professionalism and fun! The meal prepared on board was delicious. Eva’s kindness and history knowledge was a great asset. Michael’s authenticity and fun couldn’t be matched. Capt. Theo’s kindness and presence made us feel safe and secure, and his drone skills were much appreciated! Fun! Exciting! I am grateful for this experience with my sons. Memories were made. I highly recommend. 5 stars!
The trip was amazing. We have tried several times to load pictures, but the App just locks up. The captain, chef and food were engaging and fun!! This is the way to view Santorini!!
We enjoyed a private half-day Sunset Tour provided by a talented all female crew who seemed to be everywhere at once. Sailing, grilling, serving drinks, pointing out the beautiful landmarks and historical features of the volcano created waterway we were sailing. The full meal of lamb chop, chicken, fish, Greek salad, and veggies was artfully grilled & presented right on board. Our captain and first mate, chatted, joked, laughed and cared for the safety and enjoyment of our entire party. They made the day, capped by a perfect sunset all we could have hoped for.
