Santorini has been blessed with some striking scenery, and there's no better vantage point than on a cruise with uninterrupted views. You'll sail along the south coast to behold the sight of Nea Kameni volcanic islet with plenty of sunbathing, swimming and eating along the way as well as one cracking sunset on the way back.

You'll begin making waves once you set off from Vlychada Port on this catamaran cruise. You'll have the south coast of Santorini, with its red and white beaches, craggy coastline and volcanic scenery, to one side and the open sea to the other. There's plenty of space to sunbathe on deck, and once your captain reaches Nea Kameni, they'll drop anchor for you to cool off.

Lunch is served on board, too, so all that's needed is for you to sit back and enjoy every moment. There's plenty of scenery to capture, and the way back promises a treat with the famous Santorini sunset stealing the show, depending on the option you choose.

Even though the afternoon/evening was very pleasant overall 160€ each was a little excessive 120€ would be more realistic

Excellent trip, very well organised. Boat very clean, good food and very friendly crew. Very much liked that we didn’t go back to the same port, as we didn’t have the one hour travel time to our boat.

Helpful friendly crew. Nice freshly cooked food. Missed one stop due to weather. Overall an enjoyable well organised cruise. Could be improved with more info on sights along the way. Crew seemed a little distracted by two young ladies! Sunset was a bit underwhelming! When booking via TUI rep at hotel told the 10% summer discount didn’t apply to this cruise however other guests informed us they had received the discount therefore probably better to book trip on the app rather than through rep.

The whole experience was superb.

It was an expensive trip but worth the cost. There were only 7 of us on board with three crew members so it felt very exclusive. The catamaran was spotlessly clean, towels were provided and snorkels and swim noodles available. The food was excellent and free soft drinks or beer and wine were available. The views of Santorini were spectacular and information given by the crew was excellent.

The catamaran cruise was fantastic. The pickup and drop-off were smooth and well organised. There were only 9 people on our boat: plenty of space to sit and relax. The three swim stops were wonderful and we had plenty of time to enjoy these, there was no rush. The food was delicious and we were given a drink whenever we asked, with lots of choice. Overall, an amazing experience that we would highly recommend.
