Best Catamaran Tour In Santorini, Greece

Looking for an amazing yachting experience during your trip to the Greek Islands? I’ve got you covered with the best tour in all of Santorini: Caldera Yachting Gold Sunset Tour.

Santorini, Greece Excursion Review: Caldera Yachting

OVERVIEW:

If you can only do one excursion on the island of Santorini in the Greek Islands, this is it! Caldera Yachting made my experience on their Caldera Gold Sunset Tour unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was perfect!

The experience:

This famous Sunset Cruise begins from Oia and the picturesque Ammoudi bay. The first stop is in Thirassia island for a refreshing swim and snorkeling in its crystal-clear waters. Then, we continued sailing towards the Volcano and the Hot Springs which was a really cool spot.

Sailing along the stunning Caldera coastline, the cliffs were magical and the ocean was so blue. They served us dinner and we got to see the famous White Beach and Red Beach. Then, they lined up the boat perfectly with the sun and we watched the best sunset we ever have seen.

The special thing about this tour is that you get to hit all of these sights from the water, which is breathtaking. Also, seeing the sun hit the famous Red beach is magnificent.

COMFORT:

The Caldera Gold boat was extremely comfortable. There were plenty of places to sit and the boat was not crowded at all. When the sun started setting it got a little bit chilly, and they already had blankets out and ready for us. There was also a bathroom on the boat which was convenient and the interior portion of the boat was super clean and new.

food:

The dinner that was served was OUTSTANDING. I did not expect this but it was some of my favorite food I had on the entire island on Santorini. Everything was super fresh and prepared so nicely, and everyone got seconds!

OVERALL REVIEW: 10/10

This was my absolute favorite experience during my entire trip to Santorini. The views were incredible, the staff on the boat was extremely lovely, and the sunset at the end was the icing on the cake! Couldn’t think of a better way to see Santorini by boat.

Top 10 Things To Do In Santorini, Greece:

1) Sunset catamaran tour with Caldera Yachting

This is the absolute best catamaran tour in Santorini. We had such an amazing time and the sunset was the best we had ever seen. I actually wrote an entire blog post about this experience linked here.

2) Do the iconic flying dress photoshoot with Goddess Santorini

This was something I never expected to do during my time in Santorini but I highly recommend it for such a memorable moment and photos! The photographers were so nice and professional, definitely recommend doing a photoshoot with them if you are planning a trip to Santorini.

3) Have a delicious sunset dinner at Strogili restaurant in Oia

This was a gorgeous place with amazing views in Oia, Santorini. I did a lot of research about which restaurant to go to for the best views, and this one did not dissapoint!

4) Snap pictures of the blue domes in Imerovigli

If you don’t have the town of Imerovigli on your list, you must add it to your Santorini trip!! The blue domes there are gorgeous and it’s actually where a lot of the flying dress photoshoots take their pictures

5) Explore the traditional villages of Pyrgos and Emporio

To do this, you will have to either rent a car (which I don’t recommend) or hire a private driver/guide to take you around the island. It was really cool to see the traditional villages of this touristy island, especially because most people don’t go to them

6) Sunset dinner at Argo restaurant in Fira

7) Go shopping in Oia

When you go to dinner in Oia, make sure to go to all of the shops and walk around. Note— it can get really crowded on the streets of Oia, especially around the time of sunset. I recommend going shopping before or after you have dinner, but most likely after since before it will be very crowded

8) Rent a car or hire a driver for a few hours to explore the island

We did this and it was great to see the island from a different perspective!

9) Get delicious gyros at Why Not! Souvlaki in Firostefani

These were the best gyros I had during our entire trip to Greece!

10) Explore all of the shops of Fira

Overall, Santorini is such a wonderful place to visit and there are endless amazing things to do! I recommend that everyone should go to Santorini, Greece at least once in their lives, so they can take in the amazing sunsets and the caldera views.
