First Glimpse: Red Beach & White Beach
The sail begins along Santorini’s southern coastline, where the dramatic cliffs of Red Beach and White Beach rise sharply from the water. Formed from centuries of volcanic activity, these beaches are not only beautiful—they’re geological masterpieces.
Your catamaran slows down to let you snap those Instagram-worthy photos, and the crew shares interesting facts about the volcanic rock formations that color these shores in vivid reds, whites, and ochres.
Caldera Views from the Sea: The Old Port of Fira
As the catamaran rounds the island’s western rim, you’ll cruise beneath the towering cliffs of Fira, the capital of Santorini. From this vantage point, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the island’s unique geography.
Gaze up at the whitewashed villages clinging to the edge of the caldera like snow on a mountaintop. The view is almost surreal—an amphitheater of beauty formed by one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in history.
Dive into Natural Bliss: Hot Springs at Nea Kameni
Your next stop is at Nea Kameni, the volcanic islet at the center of Santorini’s caldera. Here, you’ll swim in warm, mineral-rich waters naturally heated by underwater geothermal activity. The sulfuric hot springs are said to have therapeutic benefits for the skin and muscles—so relax and let nature do its work.
With TPO.Travel’s included equipment, you’ll be free to snorkel, float, or swim as much as you please, surrounded by the moon-like terrain of the volcanic rock.
Black Mountain Stop: Swim, Snorkel, and Savor
Sailing onward, the catamaran arrives at the Black Mountain (Mesa Pigadia)—a lesser-known gem offering crystal-clear waters and peaceful surroundings. It’s the perfect spot for your final swim of the day.
While you enjoy the sea, the crew prepares a delicious Greek meal on board. Expect a feast of:
- Traditional Greek salad
- Grilled chicken or pork
- Fresh bread and tzatziki
- Seasonal fruits
- Local Santorini wine (complimentary!)
Dining under the open sky with the Aegean breeze in your hair is an experience you’ll cherish forever.
