Boat Tours and Cruises in Santorini

During your holiday on the beautiful island of Santorini, let yourself be tempted by one of the wonderful boat tours.

Some of the beauties of Santorini, such as the volcano, the hot springs, the islands of Palia Kameni and Nea Kameni, the White Beach are just a short distance away waiting for you!

Other destinations on the tours are Red Beach, the island of Thirassia, the second largest in the caldera, Aspronissi, the White Island, and the bay of Akrotiri.

You can choose from beautiful sunset tours, full-day or half-day cruises.

Many tours include traditional Greek mezedes, hearty hors d’oeuvres, and a taste of the delicious Santorini wine. We recommend that you bring sneakers, which will come in handy when you are driven to the edge of the volcanic crater, a hat, sunscreen, and snorkelling gear.
