Board a private luxury catamaran at Fira’s old port for four hours of sailing around Santorini’s caldera — swim warm volcanic springs, explore Thirassia from the water, and enjoy a Greek BBQ on deck. Choose sunrise for calm seas or sunset for dramatic light.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step down from the cliffside streets of Fira and into a different rhythm: the catamaran rocks gently as the Aegean breathes around the hull. White cliffs peel away to reveal the crescent of the caldera; the crew lowers the ladder and the sea invites you to swim where the water holds heat from the volcano.
