1.Premium Small-Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Open Bar, Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,209 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $151Our pick

Sail Santorini’s caldera coast aboard a small catamaran with a crew that may include Captain John, George, or Elena. You’ll see Red and White beaches, swim at Mesa Pigadia and Palea Kameni, snorkel in a quiet cove, eat a Greek BBQ buffet, and return with island drop-off.

“We had a great time with our captains on our sunset cruise! It was a windy day, so a little chilly for swimming in late afternoon, and some modifications had to be made to the original itinerary which the crew had warned us about once we arrived! The boat was pristine and very comfortable. The lunch was delicious as well. The hotel pickup and drop off was great to have included. I only wish we had gotten to see more of the island during our cruise!”
