Detailed description

With the sailing catamaran on a volcanic tour around Santorini - day trip or Sunset Cruise

Have you ever had lunch at the foot of a volcano on a boat? The Santorini Volcano Tour offers this exclusive combination and exciting sea miles between the volcanic archipelagos in the South Aegean. You start on a comfortable sailing catamaran in Vlichada an exciting trip along the wonderful scenery of Santorini. A first refreshment can be enjoyed at the Red Beach, which owes its name and its characteristic colouring to the lava stone, which rises in an impressive way on the shore. The contrast of red rock, blue sea and black pebble could not be greater and more wonderful. After the swim stop we set sail and go on a voyage of discovery along the coast, follow the White Beach and the Black Mountain and see the famous Akrotiri lighthouse at the western end of the island, which is visible from afar.

Santorini, also called Thira, belongs to a unique volcanic landscape whose traces are visible everywhere. Particularly impressive are the caldera and the bubbling hot springs on and around the Nea Kameni archipelago. At the same time, the barren natural landscape above sea level offers an interesting contrast to the otherwise colourful face of the holiday island. The Santorini volcano is a popular destination on the Greek island and the boat trip there is an incomparable experience because of the many discoveries. After anchoring in sight of the volcano, a delicious lunch with wine and dessert is served on board. The menu includes seafood, chicken fillet, salads as well as fruit and dessert (a vegetarian variant is possible). The drinks (beer, wine, soft drinks) are included during the tour as well as towels and snorkeling equipment, with which you can dive during the bath breaks.

The 5-hour Sunset Cruise follows the same route as the day tour - but with a grandiose finale for romantics. The sunset over the sea in front of Santorini is considered legendary because of its intensity and the spectacular colours. There are some points on the island that are really made for sunset. One of the best vantage points is of course the sea side and your skipper will drop anchor in a suitable spot so that you have enough time to enjoy this spectacle and take photos. The catamaran you will be travelling with has a capacity of up to 8 people, which makes the volcano tour on Santorini a semi-private day trip and leaves plenty of room for relaxing hours on the Aegean Sea. Both the day tour and the evening tour end again in the port of Vlichada.

Respect for nature

Even if the volcano on Kameni has not been active for a long time, I still have respect for the tremendous forces of nature. The tour is recommended.

Respekt vor der Natur

Auch wenn der Vulkan auf Kameni lange nicht mehr aktiv ist, habe ich dennoch Respekt vor den gewaltigen Naturkräften. Die Tour ist empfehlenswert.

A little disappointing

I booked this tour mainly because of the thermal springs. But then I felt a little nauseous on the boat. So I didn't have much motivation to get into the hot water.

Etwas enttäuschend

Diese Tour hatte ich hauptsächlich wegen der Thermalquellen gebucht. Doch dann wurde mir auf dem Boot leider etwas übel. So hatte ich keine große Motivation mehr in das heiße Wasser zu steigen.

Do not worry: he is peaceful

The day tour to the volcano is something special. For a few hundred years, the mountain has done nothing naughty. Only the hot springs at his foot warn us: I'm just sleeping ...! Great tour. Recommendable.

Keine Angst: er ist friedlich

Die Tagestour zum Vulkan ist etwas Besonders. Seit ein paar hundert Jahren, hat der Berg nix unartiges getan. Nur die heißen Quellen an seinem Fuß warnen uns: Ich schlafe nur…!
Super Tour. Empfehlenswert.
