The Greek island of Santorini the volcanic half – Moon Island, is and always has been a popular tourist place steeped in history with a very cosmopolitan feel that will amaze all on its volcanic background. Great poets have sung its praises, a 4.000 year old history.
The eternal Black and red rocks continues to stand, strong and majestic, rising proudly from the sea and guarding well the secrets of Atlantis...
Join a unique experience cruising from Heraklion to Santorini. The world wide known island of Santorini is the most southern island of the Cycladic group in the Aegean Sea, and is located 63 nautical miles north of Crete.
The island has been widely known for its unique breath-taking view, beauty and colours: Black sand, white washed houses, red cliffs and the deep blue Aegean Sea. Santorini is considered to be the lost Atlantis… The present-day crescent shape of the Greek island of Santorini is a consequence of a volcano activity during prehistoric times. Santorini itself owes its very existence to the volcano eruption.
Taking the speed boat from Heraklion across and joining the professional guide who will let you in on all of the history is a firm favorite amongst holiday makers. Whilst on the island take a quick cable-car ride or a slow donkey ride to the top for sightseeing or souvenir shopping. A day trip full of memories.
