The catamaran slips away from Vlichada Marina and the caldera’s cliffs pull into frame—red ochre faces dropping straight to water that dares you to dive in. On this full‑day cruise you’ll move between the island’s dramatic coastlines and tiny volcanic islets, stopping to swim beneath towering cliffs, photograph white‑washed coves only reachable by boat, and finish as the sun drops behind Thirassia.
