Catamaran Excursion in Santorini

We decided to book a sunset cruise on a catamaran with the kids.  The owner of our villa recommended Blue Lagoon tours http://www.santorinisailing.com/index.htm with Captain Ted.  It was a great recommendation.




The kids quickly staked out their territory on the netting, which turned into quite an amusement park ride:


The day was very hot and very windy.  We sailed to the Northern point of the Island [Oia] and stopped at a volcanic hot springs.  We had 2 snorkel stops and took some underwater pictures:



Dinner was prepared on the catamaran, consisting of Greek salad, tzatziki and pita, dolma [grape leaves and rice], pasta and potato salad.  Quinncy also had a few cokes:


We all took turns taking over the catamaran from Captain Ted:



The catamaran ride was 5 hours and ended with the sun setting into the Aegean sea, which I capture on video [a long and boring video]:


The catamaran was a great way to end our trip in Santorini.  We left for Athens the next morning.

  1. Santorini is beautiful especially if we visit it from the sea. I was also on such a one-day expedition. It was an amazing experience. I used the services catamaran charter . I would recommend! If I will be on my next vacation in Greece next time, we will definitely sail a yacht for just one day.
