Overview

Take a peaceful cruise on the Aegean to a unique natural wonderland, where a volcano’s furies have changed the landscape forever.

Take a wooden sailing ship around the volcano that was once the centerpiece of Santorini Island, pausing to marvel at the crater left by an ancient eruption.

Two islands have pushed their way up from the sea floor and your boat will drop anchor between them.

Stand at the mouth of a fearsome volcano and swim in natural hot springs mythologized in Greek lore.

Take out your camera for breathtaking views of Thira and stare off into a pure blue expanse that recedes towards infinity.
