Santorini Serenade: Chania’s Gateway to Paradise

Our company does not offer transportation services. However, we can arrange a one-way or round-trip taxi/minivan service for your transfer to and from the departure point at an additional cost.

Approximately 3.5 hours on an average cruising speed of 24-25 knots.
The transfer duration may be subject to differences depending on the weather conditions.

The boat can depart from Chania with good weather conditions, which means winds up to 3 Beaufort (16 km/h), waves up to 0.5m, and sunny days. However, in bad weather conditions, please check our cancellation policy.

From Fira Old Port, you can walk to Fira (600 steps -20 minutes) or take the cable car (5 euros/person). Then you can take the hiking path from Fira to Oia (6.5miles, 3-4 hours) and walk along the edge of the Caldera.

In Oia, you will explore the alleyways and the staircases, shop for local crafts, and visit the castle of Agios Nikolaos.

Finally, after a 20-minute downhill walk, you will arrive at Ammoudi Bay. There you will have the chance to taste fresh seafood at the traditional local fish taverns and have a last swim before embarking on our safe vessel, which will wait for you there.

*** Those who don’t want to hike can either take a private taxi hire from Fira to Oia, or they can go with our boat from Fira to Ammoudi and then visit Oia by walking through the steps.
