  2. Megalochori
    35m
    Leaving from the north, drive through steep hills and dry grassland to reach Megalochori, another traditional village in the island's center. Feel free to stroll the narrow pathways and take photos of the beautiful tiered bell towers along the way. Hundreds of tiny whitewashed houses with graceful architecture, beautiful blue-domed churches, and underground cave dwellings make up this settlement. You will learn about local culture and lifestyle in this picturesque and non-touristic setting.
  3. Vlychada Beach
    20m
    After a fifteen-minute drive, arrive at the island's southernmost point and step on Vlychada's black beach, which features fantastic rock formations at the background.

    20m
    Time to get onboard and get prepared for our private 5-hour cruise departure from the Vlychada Marina.

  7. 30m
    On our way you will be able to witness the naturally sculpted on a black rock Indian’s face, before we enter the caldera of Santorini where the picturesque lighthouse is on the top of the cliff on the right. On the left, witness the remaining of an eruption, an island consisting of pumice, the island of Aspronisi.

    Pass by
    This is the time where our sailboat passes between the two volcanoes (Palaia & Nea Kameni) and approaches the sulfuric warm water of the hot springs (warm springs).
