After a safety briefing, you can enjoy the marvels Santorini is known for across the globe. We always suggest a route, based on our knowledge of the island and weather conditions; of course, we will fine tune the itinerary to your needs and preferences. After departure we will make our way to the hot springs, located at the Nea Kameni volcano, where we will have time to enjoy these hydrothermal sulfurous springs, praised for the benefits they provide for our skin. From there we will sail to the island of Thirasia. This is where you can enjoy Thirassia’s crystal clear waters, and in the meanwhile, we will serve lunch. Upon departure we cross over to the Northern tip of Santorini, where we will view Oia, seen from the sea, this offers undoubtedly one of the most impressive sights Santorini has to offer. From there we take advantage of the prevailing Northern winds and sail back Southwards to Athinios port, sailing inside the Caldera coast line where the stunning views will stay with you long after your cruise is over.

Based on our knowledge of the island and taking into account the weather conditions, we will suggest an itinerary, but that can always be tailored to your needs and wishes.
For this sunset cruise we suggest the following:
As we depart at 14:00 from Athinios Port, we will cruise to the Nea Kameni Volcano.
Arrival is scheduled at 15:15 and for guests that would like to hike the volcano, our guide Eugene will join you on your hike and give you a deeper understanding of Santorini’s volcanoes. For guests that would rather not join the hike, we offer the option to remain on the Adonis and for the duration of the hike, visit one of the many bays Santorini offers for a swim.
At 16:45 the hikers with our guide Eugene will be picked up from the Nea Kameni volcano, and we are bound for the hot springs of Nea Kameni.
We arrive at the sulphurous springs at around 17:15 P.M. and visit them until 18:00P.M. Please take notice that because of the shallowness of the springs we cannot enter by boat. This means that upon arrival we will have to swim from the boat until the shallow springs, so it is essential that you are a strong swimmer to participate. Furthermore, please keep in mind that the springs might stain light colored bathing suits.
As we depart at 18:00 P.M., we will cruise alongside the cliffs that lead to Oia, offering some truly stunning views and photo opportunities before we reach the island of Thirassia.
Arrival at Korfos bay (Thirassia) is scheduled at 18:45 P.M. You will have the opportunity for a swim in the crystal clear waters there and we will serve your diner.
At 19:45 P.M. it will be time to leave Thirassia, enjoy some cruising alongside its cliffs to than sail of into the sunset.
After the sunset we will return to the port Athinios, where you will be met by one of our drivers for a safe drive back to your hotel.
