- Red Beach - Renowned as one of the island’s most picturesque and intriguing beaches, Red Beach is situated near the village of Akrotiri. Its striking red landscape is a rare and possibly unique sight globally. The tour pauses here, allowing for photo opportunities.
- White Beach - The unique geomorphology of Santorini is what sets the island apart. White Beach features white pebbles and is encircled by towering white cliffs, creating a stunning small cove with partial shade. Like other Santorini beaches, it consists of pumice stones and gray volcanic sand and pebbles.
- Palea Kameni - This volcanic island within the Santorini Caldera was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions, resulting in significant deposits of pumice and dacite.
- Akrotiri - The Akrotiri Lighthouse, dating back to the 19th century, is located on the Greek island of Santorini. Constructed by a French company in 1892, it stands as one of Greece’s oldest lighthouses. It can be viewed from the water en route to Caldera.

Incredible views and fun crew - That was a great way to spend time in Santorini. Our family was able to see the whole coast, other islands up close, we swam in a hot spring and Aegean Sea, ate Greek food and really enjoyed our time on the catamaran. We danced, we sang and took incredible pictures on the water watching the sunset

Love it, Love It, Love It - Wondered where we were going to start with in a Busy harbour area as the boat had not arrived from the morning run but we were not disappointed.
Pick up from our apartment was a great start, the boat was lovely and we had the opportunity to Sail as well as via Motor once we hit the right Conditions.
We were supplied with drinks from the moment we got on board, alcoholic and non, Antonio & Amy were excellent at looking after us and took loads of digital photos which they could send via airdrop to phones. Only 4 of us on this trip and other American Couple Gordenio and Angie.
Stopped for a Couple of swimming sessions although the hot Springs are not hot the volcanic rock formations are interesting, and the water is supposed to be good for you.
Great food which they cooked, and watched an amazing sunset. So glad we went with Barca and not the overcrowded Catamarans we saw.

The best day of our lives - I've booked this private sunset cruise in May during a romantic trip to Santorini with plan to make my proposal to my girlfriend. And it was by far the best and the most romantic day of our lives !!!
The weather was perfect, with a north wind perfect to sail without the motor and the Sea and Caldera were beautiful.
But most importantly, our crew was so great ! They welcomed us so warmly and kindly, they ensured that all was perfect. Barca staff discussed with me before the cruise about my proposal and they gave me the best advice on when to do it during the trip back with the sunset and the quiet Sea. The meal we had close to the Caldera was delicious, each minute of this cruise was a living dream !
They even took a different route to go back in order to get the perfect shot for my sucessful proposal !
Thank you so much Luca, George and all people in Barca for having helped us to make this day unforgettable !
