Experience the magic of Santorini by sea with a private 3-hour sailing tour—designed especially for cruise ship visitors who want to see and feel more in less time.

Forget the long queues at the cable car. From the moment your tender boat arrives, our crew will meet you directly at the Old Port, so you can step right aboard a beautiful sailing yacht and begin your journey immediately—no delays, no crowds.

As we glide away from the cliffs of Fira, the landscape opens up to reveal the heart of the caldera. Your first stop is the famous Santorini Hot Springs, near the volcanic island of Nea Kameni. Here, you’ll have the chance to swim or snorkel in warm, mineral-rich waters—a unique natural spa experience like no other. The contrast between the black volcanic rocks and the therapeutic, orange-tinged sea is something you’ll never forget.

From there, the cruise continues to Thirasia Island, a quiet and unspoiled corner of the caldera that offers a glimpse of the island’s authentic past. Relax on deck, take a quick dip, or simply soak in the views with a refreshing drink in hand.

Then we sail toward the highlight of the tour—the iconic village of Oia, seen from the water. This is a perspective most visitors never get to experience. The view of Oia’s whitewashed houses, blue domes, and cascading terraces from the sea is simply breathtaking—like a painting brought to life. It’s the perfect spot to capture unforgettable photos, away from the crowds on land.

Throughout the cruise, you’ll be served a selection of fresh Greek snacks and drinks, including mini sandwiches, Greek salad, club sandwich bites, chips, fresh fruit, and homemade mini cheese pies and spinach pies (tyropitakia & spanakopitakia). To accompany your light meal, enjoy Santorini white wine, local beer, soft drinks, or bottled water—served by a friendly English-speaking crew focused on your comfort and experience.

We return smoothly to the Old Port, where your tour ends right where it began—no need to line up for the cable car. This makes the tour ideal for cruise passengers with limited time on the island.
