Witness the world-famous white-washed architecture for yourself as you set sail along the southern coastline of Santorini. Home to a sanctuary of stories and jaw-dropping scenery, this place is a seventh heaven that will leave you slack-jawed in amazement. Time slows and nature’s beauty takes centre-stage at the picturesque Red Beach, where a fiery carpet serves the ideal spot for a coastal stroll. One of the island’s lesser known wonders, this chilli pepper paradise is met by a lap of crystalline waves that were made for paddling in. From one sandy stretch to another, the powdery sands of the White Beach will quieten your whirring brain, while a stop at the Black Mountain lends a fresh glimpse at the volcanic isle’s many marvels. Boxed off with a beautiful lighthouse and a plunge into the irresistible hot springs, the fun-filled moments are fuelled by a mouthwatering on-board lunch with wine and dessert thrown in for good measure.
