Review of Santorini’s private catamaran cruise, with swimming stops, seafood lunch, open bar, sunset sailing, pickup, and practical value advice.

“We had four adults that toured with Spilios and Katarina and had an amazing time. They both were wonderful and the food was delicious. My sister was a little weary of booking an excursion outside of our cruise, but everything went smoothly. From going up the cable cars (20 minutes) to the few minute walk to the meeting place, to the drive to the southern port (driver very informative), and finally being picked up at the end of the catamaran cruise by the same driver to take us back. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The tour lasted as long as expected. We were on an 8 day cruise…”
