Witness the naturally sculpted Indian’s face on our way before entering Santorini’s caldera, where the picturesque lighthouse is on the summit of the cliff on the right. On the left, you can see the remains of an explosion, an island made of pumice called Aspronisi.
At this point, our sailboat has passed between the two volcanos (Palaia and Nea Kameni) and is approaching the sulfuric warm water of the hot springs. (warm springs).
Finally, you can swim in the calm and crystal clear waters of Thirassia island while enjoying a delicious meal prepared on board while admiring the caldera’s eastward view. On board, you will be able to see the spectacular Santorini sunset.
For safety reasons, the majority of the wine tasting will take place in Thirassia; however, you will have already enjoyed your first wine until we arrive. The tasting includes a sparkling, dry whites, and the renowned Santorini dessert wine. (Vinsanto)
Choose a sunset cruise to enjoy the sunset from the comfort of your boat. Following the magnificent sunset, we will return to the Marina of Vlychada, where your transfer will be waiting to take you back to the same location where you were picked up.
Wonderful tour! Argyris was an informative guide! Santorini is beautiful! The sailboat trip was definitely a highlight. We loved seeing the island from the water, swimming and enjoying a fantastic wine tasting and meal aboard the ship!!
We had a great time on our sailboat, wine tour. Archie our guide and wine expert was great. George, the boat captain, was a delight with his boating expertise and Ina our chef cooked us a great meal of Calamari, Pasta with shrimp and a salad that was delicious. Highly recommend.
