More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The hull slides away from Santorini's black-cliff shore as the caldera cliffs recede; gulls wheel and the Aegean takes on a blue so bright it seems to sharpen the horizon. On a private Lagoon catamaran with a skipper and hostess, travelers spend days choosing islands—anchoring in hidden coves, snorkeling off volcanic reefs, and waking each morning to a new harbor.
