Barca Sailing

Captain Yiannis and his crew will take you to a fantastic trip inside the Caldera of Santorini or to other Aegean Islands!

Reviewed By Moutassem Q

I was there with my wife on our honeymoon. We thought it might be boring to go on a cruise trip but on the contrary, we enjoyed the sailing trip a lot. The crew was fantastic. The small number of people on the tour made the trip very friendly. They picked us up from our hotel and drove us back at the end of the event. The food was delicious and the smell when cooking it was great. We loved everything on the tour and would definitely recommend booking with Barca Sailing.

Santorini MTB Adventures

Whether you are a sports fanatic or just somebody who loves being outside in the nature get ready to enjoy one of the best adventures Santorini has to offer. Our guided tours on electric bicycles give you an opportunity not only to keep yourself active but to have fun while exploring one of the most beautiful of all Greek Islands. With our Ebikes you don’t have to worry about being exhausted, the electric motor gives you the ability to control how hard you work and is there to pick up the slack if you need to get up a difficult hill. You can choose to pedal all out without the motor, or you can just glide along without any effort as the electric motor does all the work. The amount of exercise and intensity is entirely up to you.

This was an unbelievably memorable day. My husband and I ended up riding 21 miles around the entire south end of Santorini, enjoying every second of the tour. Vasillis and katarina added so much knowledge to our tour too, teaching us about what we were seeing, about the landscape and villages, and enriched our experience tenfold. Fun fact guys: we went back to the power bar bakery the next day and stocked up on more! thank you a million times over.

Santorini Sea Kayak - Day Tours

Daily seakayak excursions on Santorini

Reviewed By Kristin C

We did the South Discovery day tour with Marco and Adonis and had an absolute blast! The team is dedicated to the safety of all participants and the equipment is high quality and well maintained. We were picked up from and returned to our accommodations in Oia (included in the tour price). The kayak route is incredibly scenic passing by many small Beaches and steep cliffs..and our guides were like a comedy duo, lots of fun commentary and interesting tales of the region.
We stopped off at a small rocky beach for a homemade picnic lunch of delicious sandwiches and other finger foods made by Adonis' mom.
The day was incredibly fun and memorable, not to mention, the guides even took pictures for the group and sen the photo file within a few days. An unforgettable afternoon out on the Aegean and a sublime and scenic paddle.
Be sure to bring lots of water and sunscreen. You are out for 4-5 hours total. The staff provides hats and dry bags. I would also highly recommend to bring water shoes with stiff soles, as the Beaches are very rocky.
A++++ day. Thanks Santorini Sea Kayak!

Santorini Dive Center

Santorini Dive Center has the best setup with easy and quick access to all the dive sites around the Caldera and the Volcanoes. The Dive Station is located at Caldera Beach, a small remote beach with traditional caves below the cliffs of Akrotiri village nearby the ruins of the ancient city overlooking the Volcanoes. Our Minibuses will transfer you there from your hotel. The station offers an easy and quick access to all the great volcanic dive spots because all of them are few minutes away. The divers can board from the small pier on the 9m spacious fibreglass fast diveboat able to carry 20 persons in order to start their dive trip. We have an office also in Perissa, at the southeast part of the island and is located in Perissa Camping in front of the famous Black Sand Beach, between the Camping's Beach Bar and Yazz bar.

I found Santorini Dive Center on Trip Advisor and because of all the good reviews I signed up for the beginners class. I had previously taken a SNUBA class. That is when the air tanks stay on a raft on top of the water and the participants used the mouth piece and a long breathing hose to breath under water. I thought that if I could do that than how much harder would it be to learn to SCUBA dive. Well with the friendly and knowledgeable staff at Santorini Dive Center it was easy. Our instructor(Wendy) taught us the basics and introduced us to the equipment (20 minutes) and then it was into the water with the other instructors who lead us every step of the way. It was a very enjoyable for lesson and I plan on taking other classes and become certified when we get home next year. Thanks to all the employees who made this possible for me. One more item checked off my 'bucket list'.

Reviewed By digitalroc - Calgary, Canada

I was picked up at the bus station by Aegean Divers for my two tank dive. We headed back to the dive shop to load up the gear and meet the team. I was the only diver scheduled for the day, and I was told that they would not use boats due to the cost plus it was the start of the season, so we did two shore dives. There were other dive operators there, and it was the same situation, shore dives for a couple of tourist divers. It was nice to have the Dive Master to myself, and he was really good, and had safety in mind throughout the dive. The water was cold, it was only 18 C, however the air temperature was hot at around 26 C, so suiting up in a 5mm wet suit and walking along the beach with a tank on was a bit of a concern for overheating. I was disappointed with both dives, as they were non-interesting, as there wasn’t much coral or fish to see. The surface interval was roughly a 45 minute break with bottled water and a welfare Sandwich. At the end we headed back to the dive center, where they had cold showers to rinse off with. Upon leaving, I was given a gift of an Aegean Divers t-shirt, which I thought was a nice touch.

So definitely a recommendation.
It's very close to the airport and easy to find.
There are two options for tasting and also some food options.
The wine is very well explained like in other wineries too. Even the pairing with the food.
When the lady recognised that i am not just a drinking tourist but really interested in wine she turned out very empathic and really knowledgeable. After, she even recommended other smaller wineries on the island which i think is very nice.
Thanks for the nice wine chat!

Captain George Santorini Yachting

Captain George was raised and educated in Australia and has over 30 years experience in skippering sea craft around the Greek Islands and is the creator of the sunset cruise in its present form! His passion for the sea and tradition has lead him to restore one of the most important boats that was used for transportation of people and goods between the Islands and the Mainland for centuries. It all started back in the early 90’s when he started BBQ cruises on Santorini and various Islands in the Aegean – reminiscent of the Australian weekends of his youth. The boat is the S/Y Eleftheria, a 55-foot wooden built traditional Greek Kaiki -Trechandiri or working boat, which nowadays are open museums and carry memories of a world that is fading right in front of us. We also cater for VIP tours, private charters, sunset cruise and individual itineraries, BBQ trips and full day tours around Santorini and the surrounding Islands.

Reviewed By Anthony R - Exeter, United Kingdom

Captain George is a gentleman of the sea and his boat is a timeless wonder.
Friendly, but not too friendly, he was a perfect host with his crew, sensing the moments for engagement and conversation and being genuinely knowledgeable.
We had a wonderful and magical trip and highly recommend this experience, ON THIS BOAT. You can get into a fibreglass modern yacht anywhere in the world, but this is an unique experience.
You have to book direct - he keeps prices good by avoiding middlemen - and you get a prompt reply. You also get a luxury pickup and return from and back to your hotel. Great food, drink and swims too.

A friend and myself visited Santorini in late October 2017 and part of our trip involved the half day snorkelling experience with the Mediterranean Dive Club.
The staff were friendly and accommodating from the start, in regards to the enquiry process, right through to the end of the trip and I could not flaw their professionalism throughout.
Alongside the snorkelling the staff gave a history of the island in regards to the development of the coastal landscape and seascape we got to view whilst out in the water and were very happy to discuss recommendations for things to see and do for the duration of our stay.
We had a wonderful time and I would definitely do it again!
