 Sailing
into the Caldera of Santorini is like floating inside a giant
open-air geological museum. Oia Village is the crowning glory of
peace and tranquillity. Built on the northern tip of the Caldera
rim, it is here where many artists have been inspired due to its
magnificent location. As you will see for yourself, it has
“out of this world" views of the Caldera, the island
itself, and many of the broken off islands surrounding the
Caldera and Aegean Sea.
Enjoy
a short trip by boat to Athenios harbour where you will meet up
with your motor coach and guide. Drive uphill along the rocky
sides of the Caldera and pass through many traditional villages
in order to reach the listed settlement and unique village of
Oia, with it’s typically Cycladic architecture and its houses
perched on the cliffs edge like seagulls poised for flight on
this dramatic cliff-side.
Accompanied
by your guide, walk through the village along cobble, stoned
streets marvelling at the breathtaking panoramic views and
admiring the traditional architecture. Enjoy free time on your
own, where you may either wander through the many art galleries
available or perhaps relax over a coffee.
At
the specified place and time, meet back up with your guide and
make your way to Fira, the capital town of the island, built on
the centre of the Caldera rim.
Enjoy
the town at your own leisure and return to the small pier of
Scala by cable car or mule, where the vessel's tendering service
awaits to take you back to your ship. |
