Do not miss it! The most amazing experience in Santorini! We went on a private cruise with my husband and our two friends and had the most amazing day in Santorini! We had a wonderful day by the sea, laughing, dancing, swimming and enjoying Santorini's secret sights! Special thanks to Vasilis and Tina who made our experience so special! Their service was more than perfect and they are the best company! Couldn't have asked for more.

Santorini Cruise..amazing experience!!!! My husband and I had such an amazing time, it was an experience we will never forget! The sights are absolutely breathtaking! Thank you Bill and Tina for making our honeymoon everything we hoped it would be!!!

Romantic way to see the sunset! I highly recommend Santorini Yacht Cruises for a memorable experience on the Aegean Sea. Our catamaran crew was young, energetic and knowledgeable of the area. The dinner served on the boat was excellent!

Amazing cruise and extremely kind boat crew! The cruise was a surprise for my mother, so we went all the family together and the experience was incredible. My parents celebrated their votes renewal during the sunset and thanks to Christos and Captain Vasilis, everything was perfect. They looked after us all the time so we had everything we needed. I definitely would recommend this cruise as a must do in Santorini!

Private Sunset tour - Proposal I recently booked the private sunset tour for a planned marriage proposal. The experience could not have been any better! Vasilis and Christos looked after our every need - kept the drinks flowing, good music, great route and took memorable pictures and videos so we could remember the moment.

Muy agradecidos y recomendamos tomen este tour para conocer y disfrutar las islas desde al maravilloso mar. Muchas gracias por darnos el mejor recuerdo posible ya que teniamos poco tiempo para conocer! El atardecer, unico!!

Thank you very much!!! We hope to see you in a future tour again!!!

Both our guides Adonis (who also drove us to and from the harbor) and Arsen did an excellent job! Arsen gave us detailed history as well as geology of the area, pointed out interesting sights while Adonis mended the ship. They cooked up a delicious dinner with bbq meats and vegetables, salad, local cheese, etc. The scenery is beautiful and the sunset is magical. Lucky us we also saw the full strawberry moon afterwords, what a treat! All and all we had a wonderful experience and can’t be more happier with the service, 100% recommend this!

Had a great time, everything went perfect. I was surprised with a bottle of champagne and a cake and flowers for my birthday and felt so special. Would recommend! A great experience!

Thank you very much!!!! We hope to see you in a future tour again!!!

Antony and Arsen were so amazing. They picked us up from our hotel and they welcomed us on the boat. The stories they tell were so helpful and informative. We got to swim in two spots one of them was the volcano hot springs. They provided everything we need life jackets, swimming sprinklers, music, food and drinks. We also got to see the sunset. And at the end they drove us back to our hotel. What a great experience.

Greece to hike fee for cruise passengers to Mykonos and Santorini

Last year some 800 cruise ships brought some 1.3 million passengers to the island of just 15,500 residents, according to the hellenic ports association.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Sunday announced that a fee of 20 euros will be imposed on cruise passengers visiting the popular islands of Mykonos and Santorini.

The tourist island of Santorini with its volcanic caldera is a favourite stopover for cruises, with its sea-blue church domes and world-famous sunsets.

But at peak times parts of the island are nearing saturation, and officials have been considering various restrictions.

Asked about overtourism at the Thessaloniki International Fair, Mitsotakis said Greece has a "a problem in certain destinations some weeks or some months of the year" in terms of tourism.

"The cruise industry has put a strain on Santorini and Mykonos, so the fee will be 20 euros," he added.

Last year some 800 cruise ships brought some 1.3 million passengers to the island of just 15,500 residents, according to the Hellenic Ports Association.

A record 32.7 million people visited Greece last year, and of those around 3.4 million, or one in 10, went to the island.

Mitsotakis said that the government would also be "bold" on intervening on the number of ships arriving at a specific destination at the same time.

"It is important to observe sustainability rules in everything that is built from now on," he told reporters.

"To put the brakes on islands where we believe that the situation has reached a point where the infrastructure limits are actually being tested."

In an AFP interview earlier this summer, Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni also said there was a need to set quotas, with local officials already setting an overall limit of 8,000 cruise passengers per day from next year for Santorini.

"It's impossible for an island such as Santorini... to have five cruise ships arriving at the same time," she said.

However, the prime minister also cautioned on Sunday that it was "dangerous to present Greece as a country that is hostile to tourism."

In 2023, 13 per cent of Greece's GDP came from tourism.

Greece and its crystal-clear waters are firmly back on the global travel map after a 10-year debt crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last year, the highest number ever visited the Mediterranean country despite deadly fires and a long heatwave.

Kefalogianni told AFP that 2024 was set to be "another record year".
