One of the most beautiful beaches of the island. Its distinct red coloration is caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil. Stop to take some photos. We do not drop you off. You do not stop for swimming.
White Beach, which is only accessible by boat, is a marvel to look at. We do not stop for swimming or drop you off.

This an excellent tour. Julie was the guide in the boat. Savalos and Burhan were the crew. Every one took care of the guests meticulously. This tour is comfortable and shows the various islands around Santorini. Those who wanted to swim were given ample opportunity, towels, life jackets etc. Shower with plain water after a dip was available. Delicious BBQ was grilled on the boat. This is as n exceptional deal for its price. Highly recommended.
Michael the driver was amazing and the staff on happy day are amazing!
Great experience and beautiful sunset. The food and wine on the cruise was good as well. Would recommend
The experience was okay, but the guides set many limits when it came to moving around the catamaran and at the stops we made to swim. It felt like a school. The food was also very limited, and in fact, we ate after the excursion. They only offered drinks 2 times in 5 hours, which seems a bit scarce for the price paid.
A wonderful day of maritime magnificence, seafaring splendour and briny beauty! Great crew, food, and a fine vessel. Thank you!
A nice tour but not a sailing trip. Tripadvisor talks numerous times about the sailing but there seemed to be no intention of raising the sails at any point during the cruise despite the mild conditions and me asking the captain. Not a huge problem, just feel slightly misadvertised. Food and crew were great though. 3 stars instead of 4 because our transfer took ages and on arrival we were left in the van for 20 minutes with no information about what was going on. Better communication from the driver would have been the difference between this being a slight inconvenience and an annoyance. That said, overall I would recommend to Santorini travellers.
The sunset cruise on Evenna was a wonderful experience. The trip was made extra special by our wonderful host Sofia, she went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend this trip if you are visiting Santorini.
Fabulous trip, views outstanding and bbq was beautiful, great trip xx Highly recommend 👌
We did this tour during our honeymoon. The boat was big, and clean. The crew had towels for us and plenty of drinks. The crew was wonderful and kind. I wish that they were more interactive with the guests and shared more about the land and attractions we were passing. The food was just okay.
We enjoyed our day on the catamaran sunset cruise. We stopped at various swimming spots and leaned about the area’s geography. The sunset was amazing! Sophia was a wonderful guide and crew was attentive.
