Santorini day cruise – 7 top destinations

Santorini offers two distinct faces to the travellers of the Santorini day Cruise. Dreamy beaches and tranquillity by day and a nightlife full of parties, fun and joy.

The Greek islands are one of the most popular and best-assorted destinations in the world of cruises. Santorini, next to Mykonos, Rhodes and Crete are the most visited and best-communicated islands. Practically all the cruises that leave Athens, and all those that visit the Aegean Sea, stop at Santorini.

Top Destinations to see on Santorini Day Cruise:

1. Oia

You cannot miss one of the classified as “most beautiful villages in the world”, Oia.

2. Fira

Fira, the capital of the island, is also very beautiful, and for me, it is the best place to watch the sunset.

3. Excursion to the Caldera

As you already know, Santorini is a volcanic island, and the whole west coast, where the towns of Oia or Fira are located, that appear hanging to the abyss of a great cliff. Just ahead is the crater of the volcano, which is the famous caldera.

You will not get tired of taking pictures; it is what gives the island of Santorini that special attraction.

4. Visit a wine cellar

In Santorini, there are very good wines and several wineries to visit.

5. Go to the Akrotiri lighthouse

It is located at the southern tip of the island, just opposite Oia.

6. Best Beaches

And of course, if you’re on an island in the middle of the Aegean Sea and its a little summer, then don’t forget to visit the best 3 beaches.

Vlychada Beach, you will love the great walls that form the cliffs.
La Playa Roja (Red Beach) de Santorini owes its name to the fascinating cliffs of red, reddish volcanic stone. The nearest town is Akrotiri.
Playa Blanca, right next to the red beach, you have the white beach, famous for its pale-coloured rocks.
