“Avgi Excursion” is a true excursion dedicated to those who love nature, the colors of the sunlight and the adventure, but not only. This cruise is a relaxing and easy trip to the magical coasts of Santorini, where you will have the chance to explore the deep sea beds and unique nature.
The day will begin from Vlychada Marina and sailing under the morning day light and gazing the mesmerizing view of Santorini island. Cruising along the coastline of Caldera you will never stop taking pictures because the beauty is limitless. Our first stop consists of sightseeing in Akrotiri’s Red Beach, known for its titular red-hued sand, caused by the volcanic minerals soil, which is a rare sight, probably unique in the whole world, and the neighboring White Beach where snorkeling is recommended in order to explore the underwater caves.
What’s next? We will reach Mesa Pigadia and on our way to Volcano we pass the old Venetian Lighthouse, built in 1892, that is one of the first lighthouses in Greece. We reach the volcano island, where you have the chance either to hike to the crater or to enjoy an outstanding swim in the warm and clear waters that grants a natural spa experience of the Hot Springs.
Passing the Caldera, next stop is Armeni, a small charming place built under the cliffs and the attractive Saint Nicolas church, where you can swim in the deep crystal-clear waters. We continue sailing to Thirassia island with picturesque houses painted in various colors, the virgin beaches and the pure nature.
Before the final destination, there is a stop in Aspronisi Island, which is currently uninhabited, and you can admire the sparse plant life that can be found on the island and the nesting ground for some species of migratory birds before we head back to our starting point, Vlychada Marina.
