Tour Highlights:
Experience the shimmering blue waters under the radiant morning sun. With temperatures warmer than in the afternoon, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore the seabed using the provided snorkeling equipment. Our catamaran boasts an ideal layout for sunbathing, ensuring maximum comfort and relaxation.
Swim Stops:
Our first stop takes you to the area near the volcano, where you can marvel at the fascinating lava formations and the striking black rocks. Next, venture past the Old Lighthouse, Indian Rock, and Black Mountain before reaching our second stop at Red Beach. Here, capture stunning photos and enjoy swimming and snorkeling in spots inaccessible by car. Our third stop at White Beach offers more opportunities for swimming and snorkeling, complemented by our onboard equipment. It’s also the perfect time to savor a delicious BBQ meal and Greek appetizers prepared fresh by our hospitable hostess.
– Kindly note that the itinerary and stops of a cruise may be subject to alterations without prior notice in case the conditions are not appropriate to sail outside the Caldera.
– Guests need to bring towels and warm dry clothes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and sunhat.
– According to Greek legislation, neither boats nor yachts are allowed to moor directly on the beach. Sunset Oia has selected the best points for swimming and snorkeling, the closest possible from the beach.
– Hot Springs: It is good to know that, for safety reasons, catamarans/yachts keep a distance of 50 m from the warm sulfuric water of the Hot Springs bay. The temperature in the Hot Springs area is up to 4°C warmer than the open water. Guests swim securely close to the volcano. Dark color swimwear recommended.
– Please, provide the name of your hotel and contact details (yours or of your host’s). One day prior to the cruise, you will receive the pick up confirmation.
