You push off from Vlychada with the island’s cliffs slipping past like pages of a geological atlas; the catamaran sits flat and confident on Aegean blue as the crew trims the sails. The sea here nudges you forward, the caldera’s rim rising dark behind whitewashed villages, and the boat threads a route that circles Santorini from east to north, giving panoramic sightlines to Fira, the volcanic islets and Oia’s cliffside houses.
