About the experience

Start your day embraced by the calm of the Aegean Sea, bathed in soft morning light, as the stunning beauty of Santorini slowly unfolds before your eyes. This exclusive morning cruise offers a front-row seat to the island’s most iconic sights—without the crowds, the heat, or the rush.

Departing from the serene Vlychada Marina, you'll sail along Santorini’s dramatic coastline, passing the island’s famous Black, Red, and White Beaches, each shaped by ancient volcanic forces. Drift by the impressive cliffs and sea caves of Lixada, then head deep into the caldera to explore the legendary Nea Kameni (New Volcano) and Palea Kameni (Old Volcano). There, take a dip in the naturally warm, mineral-rich Hot Springs—a true open-air spa surrounded by surreal volcanic landscapes. The cruise continues to the peaceful shores of Thirassia Island, a place where time seems to pause, before concluding beneath the cliffs of Oia, offering unforgettable views of its whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches from the sea.

Please note: to ensure your safety and comfort, the exact route may vary depending on weather and sea conditions. Your captain will always choose the best possible course to guarantee an enjoyable and smooth experience.

This is more than just a cruise—it’s an early escape into the heart of Santorini, where breathtaking scenery, comfort, and authenticity come together in perfect harmony.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Vlychada marina, Santorini, Greece
Santorini – Lixada Marina: Where It All Begins
Your adventure starts at Lixada Marina, nestled along the southern coastline of Santorini. Surrounded by impressive sculpted cliffs and the sparkling Aegean Sea, this quiet departure point sets the tone for a day of discovery. As you step aboard, feel the anticipation rise—you're about to explore the most breathtaking and iconic sites the island has to offer.
Black Beach – The Volcanic Frontier
Cruise past the dramatic Black Beach, where volcanic sands meet deep blue waters. The bold contrast of dark shoreline and glittering sea offers a striking introduction to Santorini’s unique geological history.
Red Beach – Nature’s Canvas
Famous for its towering red cliffs and fiery tones, Red Beach is a stunning natural marvel. The blend of volcanic rock and clear waters makes it one of the island’s most photogenic and awe-inspiring locations.
White Beach – Hidden Gem of the Coastline
Accessible only by boat, White Beach is a peaceful retreat framed by pale cliffs and quiet waters. A perfect spot to pause, take a swim, or just enjoy the raw, untouched beauty of the coast.
Palea Kameni – The Island’s Fiery Heart
Enter the caldera to meet the Old Volcano, where it all began. Its rugged landscape, formed by ancient eruptions, tells the story of Santorini’s dramatic origins and ever-changing terrain.
Nea Kameni – Born from the Deep
Still geothermally active, the New Volcano rises from the sea like a force of nature. Its steaming terrain and deep history offer a close encounter with the volcanic power that shaped the island.
Hot Springs – Nature’s Open-Air Spa
Anchor near the Hot Springs, where warm, mineral-rich waters provide a soothing natural bath. Let go, float in comfort, and enjoy the surreal sensation of swimming between warm and cool currents beneath volcanic cliffs.
Thirassia Island – A Step Back in Time
Cross the caldera to the traditional and tranquil Thirassia Island. With its unspoiled charm and laid-back rhythm, it’s a rare opportunity to experience the authentic Cycladic lifestyle, untouched by crowds.
Oia – The Iconic View from the Sea
Conclude your cruise beneath the stunning cliffs of Oia, Santorini’s postcard-perfect village. From the sea, admire its cascading white houses and blue domes bathed in morning light—an unforgettable ending to your journey.
