Santorini, a beautiful crescent-shaped island in Greece’s Cyclades Islands, is an enchanting destination that every traveler should visit. With its breathtaking landscapes, unique beaches, and picturesque villages, a Santorini yacht charter with FGI Yacht Group is the most luxurious and comfortable way to explore this spellbinding destination.
Envision gliding along the island’s azure waters while admiring the breathtaking views of Santorini’s towering cliffs and attractive beaches. Santorini’s breathtaking coastline is certain to win the hearts of beach lovers. Red shoreline, a pebble shoreline set against a backdrop of red cliffs, is one of the most popular beaches on the island. ‘Kamari Beach’, renowned for its surreal black sands, is an additional beach worth investigating.
Once you’ve explored the breathtaking coastlines, direct your crew to set sail for Firá. As you approach the island’s capital, you will be captivated by the sight of whitewashed buildings constructed into the cliffs that plunge into the ocean. Visit some of this picturesque town’s historical sites, cathedrals, and monasteries to immerse yourself in its history and culture. Explore the charming caldera-perched villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani by traveling further interior. Oia, one of the most famous villages in Santorini, has maintained its natural, rugged attractiveness over the years despite growing in popularity among tourists. Enjoy a leisurely promenade through the complex of charming homes on narrow streets, flowering verandas, and blue-domed churches perched on the cliffsides. During your exploration of the town, try to distinguish between the houses built for Venetian sea captains in the past and the traditional cave houses. Then, descend 300 steps to the small port of Ammoudi to watch the sunset over the blue-domed roofs before returning to your charter yacht for a nightcap under the stars.
For a change of tempo and scenery during your yacht charter in Santorini, the Dodecanese island of Leros is an excellent option.
