4 Sunset Cruises in Santorini Worth Booking

1.Santorini Catamaran Cruise with Greek Meal, Open-Bar and Sunset

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,694 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $181Our pick

Sail Santorini’s caldera aboard a motor-powered catamaran for about five hours, with hotel pickup, a Greek meal, white wine, beer, snorkeling, and stops at the volcanic hot springs and Red Beach. Choose morning or sunset departure. Luxury options add views beneath Oia and Ammoudi Bay, though you do not go ashore there.

“The onboard lunch has more options than advertised. Once you board, they ask if anyone has allergies and they accommodate your needs. The cheese for the salad is on the side, they made a gluten free pasta for a passenger with an allergy, and they gave you the option between pork or chicken.”
