We might summarize the expertise by saying that it’s a A catamaran expertise match for a king.

There are three stops alongside the best way for swimming within the crystal clear waters of the caldera, snorkeling, Greek meals, drinks and as many delicacies as you need, all the time served by very attentive {and professional} workers.

Crusing by way of the caldera
The primary cease is on the crystal clear waters of Mesa Pigadia seaside. Right here you’ll be able to take a dip to chill off from the rising temperatures, particularly throughout the morning tour. It is a good spot to snorkel, and sure, the crew will present tools for every passenger, so all it’s a must to do is benefit from the lovely water.
Return to the catamaran, refresh your self with water and a chilly beer. On most of those journeys, all drinks are included within the worth, with wine, beer, water and delicate drinks out there. Nevertheless, in case you are not used to crusing, it’s clever to watch out with alcohol. Belief me, you do not need one additional drink to destroy an expertise like this. 😉
The following cease is the actual spotlight of the journey: sulphurous waters (scorching springs) of the Santorini caldera. That is the volcanic space of the caldera and the island of Palea Kameni, (swim with out fear, there will probably be no surprises). The lunar panorama, mineral-rich sea and inexperienced waters are out of this world. It positively appears like an out of doors spa; nevertheless, the water isn’t as heat as anticipated, and apparently it’s a must to swim nearer to the island to get it. So some areas are hotter than others.

After swimming you’ll be able to take pleasure in every kind of Greek delicacies similar to moussaka, tzatziki, dolmadakia, varied native cheeses and barbecue with hen and shrimp. All this on the deck of a catamaran, below the summer season Greek solar, with a spectacular view of the caldera, when you are anchored on the coast or on an island.
I need to say that the panorama of the island of Santorini may be very totally different from this aspect of the caldera, a sight most individuals won’t ever expertise!
