The boat eases away from Ammoudi Bay and the whitewashed roofs of Oia shrink into a row of windows and terraces. Salt spray pricks your face, and the caldera cliffs—sheer black and red rock—rise like a vertical map of Santorini’s violent past. For four hours the sea leads the way: a private crew, a small group, and a coastline that rewards timing and curiosity.
