5.00We booked the small group catamaran day/morning cruise and it was perfect. The crew was amazing and super friendly. They made an incredible lunch for us that included many traditional Greek side dishes. The yogurt with cherries dessert is the BEST Greek yogurt I’ve ever had. The highlights were swimming in the hot springs offshore from the volcano island and snorkeling near the white beach. But also seeing the cliffs and Skarros Rock were also highlights. It was a beautiful smooth sail. Highly recommend! It was a great value for the price we paid.
Best thing we did in Santorini

5.00Wonderful experience, with small number of guests it was sort of semi private tour from Oia. Unlimited drinks, good food and wonderful host of captain Antonio, crew of Ixa, George and company of other good guests. Worth every cent!
Amazing and memorable experience
