Nice sunset
Generally was very good. But we could have spent more time in the water specifically the first two stops. Also we did t get any dessert. Food was good.

Highly recommend!
We highly recommend this boat tour in Santorini! 80% of the couples on the tour were on honeymoons, including ourselves - and it's a perfect honeymoon activity with a romantic sunset, amazing photo opps, and a delicious dinner. (The fish was the best we had in Greece.) Shout out to the Carpe Diem crew for an amazing experience!

This is what I imagined Greece would be!
We had the most incredible time on the Carpe Diem. Dina was delightful - great choice in music and so fun and kind! Mario had great information and kept us safe on the boat and while swimming in the sea. Captain Mkos was fabulous and extremely kind. 💯 would recommend! The food was fantastic as well. I would do it again.

Relaxed day break on the water
Easy boat cruise with nice staff. Not overly crowded with only 15 guests on board so that everyone had the chance to move and find a nice spot.

Very nice cruise
Several swimming stops in clear, turquoise waters. During the swimming stop near the sulfur springs, thanks to our friendly crew, we were finally almost the only boat moored. We enjoyed the calm, the beauty of the place, and an excellent barbecue with a very pleasant background of local music. Pure happiness! Bath towels and snorkeling equipment are also provided. The boat was impeccable and the crew entirely dedicated to its clients. Thank you very much for this cruise which ended our 9-day stay in Santorini on a high note.

Do it!!!!
My favorite activity me and my fiancé did on our trip to Greece. Amazing spots to swim and saw some really cool fish with the snorkeling gear provided. Overall one of the best meals we had in Greece, I have not stopped thinking about the tzatziki. Everyone was so friendly and made it a really special experience!
