• Sail the Seas
• Enjoy the morning at leisure today. From your hotel, you can venture out for a walk through the maze of shops, cafes and restaurants the town offers.  Take a ramble to the edge of the village (the sea should be on your left), you'll be rewarded with a view of both the caldera and the village itself.  If you fancy a bit of relaxation, simply take the opportunity to sleep in, go for a swim at your hotel, or indulge in a leisurely brunch overlooking the Aegean Sea.  
• Santorini is a spectacular sight to behold, and a memorable experience at sunset. Experience the spectacular sunset this evening from the comfort of a small group shared cruise which can last 4.5 to 6 hours depending on the season.  In a small group of 20 participants or less, you'll transfer to port and set sail around the island, starting with a visit to the famous Red Beach, a geologically unique area that was formed in a volcanic eruption. The beach is known as one the finest locations for swimming and snorkeling in Santorini, and the crystal-clear waters protect unique rock formations that are perfect for discovering. From here, continue sailing to the stunning White Beach, primarily accessible by boat or on foot from the Red Beach. Volcanic black sand contrasts the towering white cliffs above, and the sand is dotted with white pebbles and pumice stones. Enjoy a half hour at leisure for swimming and snorkeling in the clear azure waters of this cove. Back on board, savor a delicious barbeque meal on the ship’s deck, accompanied by crisp Santorinian wine. Continue sailing back to port, stopping below the village of Oia to watch the sunset over the Caldera, basking the sea with brilliant hues of royal purple, red and orange. Conclude your magical evening with a return transfer from port.
