Why take this tour?

Santorini, one of the most stunning islands in the Aegean Sea. Formed by a massive eruption that reshaped the landscape, it now features a breathtaking caldera with towering 300-meter cliffs surrounding a central lagoon. Our day cruise begins with a bus transfer from Chania to Rethymnon port, where we set sail every Tuesday and Saturday. The boat journey takes about two hours, allowing us to enjoy six hours on the island. Upon arrival at Athinios Port, knowledgeable local guides will assist you onto buses to explore Santorini’s highlights. You’ll visit the charming village of Oia, famous for its postcard-perfect views, and the island’s capital, Fira. There is also an optional boat tour to the volcano—simply inform your guide if you wish to participate. In just one day, you can take in much of what makes this island extraordinary. We depart for Rethymnon in the late afternoon and return to Chania by bus, bringing an unforgettable journey to a close.
