What you'll see and do
Red Beach
The Red Beach of Santorini is one of the most famous and beautiful beaches, arguably in all of Greece. It is named for the iron-rich rocks in the cliff's face towering over the beach above you as well as the red sand.
Pass by without stopping
White Beach
Unlike the more famous Red Beach nearby, White Beach is accessible mainly by boat or a bit of hiking, so it tends to feel quiet and less crowded. The beach itself is made up of coarse sand and white pumice stones, giving it a wild and natural charm.
Pass by without stopping
Mesa Pigadia Beach
Mesa Pigadia is one of the isolated beaches of Santorini located around Akrotiri village, It has black pebbles and beautiful crystal clear waters. This beach is ideal for relaxation and to take a break from crowded beaches and villages. Like most of the beaches in the area, it is surrounded by beautiful cliffs. A stop for snorkeling and swimming is also welcome here!
Pass by without stopping
Akrotiri Lighthouse
In the lovely, tranquil village of Akrotiri, you can find the well-known lighthouse located on the extreme southwest part of the island, 18 kilometers away from the capital of Santorini. It is considered one of the best and most beautiful lighthouses in the Cyclades. Attuned to the rest of the island, it is an admirable building with whitewashed walls standing on the edge of a high cliff right above the sea. It is, by all means, an idyllic setting.
Pass by without stopping
Aspronisi
Aspronisi (literally meaning “White Island”) is a small uninhabited islet in the Santorini caldera, located between Therasia and the main island of Santorini. It was formed from volcanic activity thousands of years ago and is part of the same volcanic complex.
Pass by without stopping
Palea Kameni
Palea Kameni has not erupted in modern times, but it still hosts thermal activity in the form of fumaroles. It’s considered dormant but active in a geological sense, as it shares the same magmatic system as Nea Kameni.
Pass by without stopping
Nea Kameni
It is the larger of the two central islets and is the youngest land in Greece, created by eruptions between 1570 and 1950.
Pass by without stopping
Hot Springs & Caldera Bay The volcanic eruption of the late 17th c. BC cut Therasia off from the rest of the landmass, showering it with billions of tons of magma that turned into pumice and ash, increasing its surface area to 9.3 square kilometers. At the same time, the caldera was formed – the sea ravine that links, but also separates, Therasia from its larger, cosmopolitan sister.
Pass by without stopping
Oia
The beauty of Oia is unsurpassed. In fact, it is almost impossible to describe in words. Small white houses tier the hillside, interspersed by splashes of rich okra, deep fuchsia, cobalt blue, oyster pink, and earthy red. Smooth winding paths interconnect, interrupted now and then by a small church, and at every corner, there is something new to discover.

Amazing private catamaran...
Amazing private catamaran tour! The host was friendly, food was excellent, and captain was flexible with the itinerary. We swam, snorkeled, and enjoyed leisure time on the front of the boat. Would not change a thing.

Private Boat Tour
Overall, my experience was truly amazing. The staff provided exceptional service and made us feel truly welcomed and comfortable throughout the whole trip. The food was absolutely delicious—one of the best meals I had during my entire trip. They even brought us to a beautiful spot to watch the sunset. My only complaint is that we didn’t see the sunset in Oia as described on the description of this booking; instead, it was at another location. While that was a bit disappointing, it didn’t take away from what was otherwise an incredible experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for providing your constructive feedback. We reviewed and corrected this oversight so that the next travelers won't experience the same inconvenience.

The Perfect Tour for Our Family Vacation
This private tour was the highlight of our trip! Alkis was patient and thoughtful with the pre-trip planning. Our time was very tight as we were only stopping by Santorini via our cruise ship for a few hours. We provided Alkis and his team the details and they were able to plan it out perfectly! The only challenge we had was totally out of Alkis’ control which is choosing between a long wait to board the cable car or picking the somewhat nerve wrecking donkey ride. We chose the latter. Once we got into one of Alkis’ transportation vehicles, it was a 10/10 afterwards. Special thanks to Theodore, Minos, and Padelis for making this such a memorable trip for my family!

Fabulous sunset sail experience
This cruise was the absolute best! The crew was welcoming upon our arrival and took care of our every need. We saw the most beautiful sites, had the best dinner prepared on board the boat and bottomless drinks! We had great music and our kids jumped into the beautiful water. We could not have asked for a better experience to celebrate my birthday!

Best day ever!!!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Private Tour Half-Day Sailing Platinum Catamaran Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Private Tour Half-Day Sailing Platinum Catamaran Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $205 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santorini usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Santorini Private Tour Half-Day Sailing Platinum Catamaran Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santorini is not rushed.
Is Santorini Private Tour Half-Day Sailing Platinum Catamaran Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Santorini Private Tour Half-Day Sailing Platinum Catamaran Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Santorini Private Tour Half-Day Sailing Platinum Catamaran Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini Private Tour Half-Day Sailing Platinum Catamaran Cruise?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santorini can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santorini and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Private Tour Half-Day Sailing Platinum Catamaran Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santorini within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santorini?
+
On Outty we rank every Santorini experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Private Classic Santorini Panorama: Visit Top Destinations. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santorini?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santorini?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
