Enjoy the best of Santorini and the surrounding volcanic islands on a 9-hour sailing tour aboard a luxury catamaran. Stop at 6 highlights along the way and explore Santorini's sister island on a 2-hour walking tour of Thirasia. You won't just see the best of Greece, you'll also taste local specialties prepared by a private chef.   The day begins with hotel pickup in Santorini. Board the catamaran and set off, making stops at White beach, Indian rock, Black Beach, Red Beach, Akrotiri Lighthouse and the Hot Springs. Discover amazingly secluded beaches that can only be accessed by boat and admire the surrounding limestone cliffs and clear waters.  Experience the untouched beauty of Thirasia that has been seen by very few foreign eyes and witness how the locals lived before their villages turned into ghost towns after the 1955 volcanic eruption. Take pictures of colorful, wild-west-style churches and admire views of the Caldera from the island. At the end of the tour, take a break to sample local wines and enjoy a meze platter.  At lunch, mingle with other passengers and enjoy interesting conversation over 3 authentic regional specialties prepared by a private chef. Unlimited local wine, beer, soft drinks, and water are available onboard. Learn about Greek Culture and the history of the Cycladic Islands from a local's perspective.  Snorkel gear is available for those wanting a bit more adventure and the Capitan may even show you the ropes and let you take the helm. At the end of the day, return to Santorini for the hotel transfers.
