This was the absolute best excursion we took on our 3-week vacation. Panos reconfirmed by text and email the day before and was there right on time. The boat was much nicer than those we had on the Amalfi coast and Capri. It had comfortable seating with padded seats and backs and a real cabin with bathroom, kitchenette, and table for eating. He took us around Santorini and neighboring islands and explained the history and volcanic activity. We swam in an area where hot springs mixed with the sea water, so it must have been in the 90s. There was another spot he took us when we could swim in crystal clear waters but decided not to. At lunchtime he parked in a cove where he attracted schools of fish and seagulls for us to photograph. The lunch was orzo salad, potato salad, bruschetta, sausage and peppers, feta cheese with olive oil and bread. Only wish we had a little piece of baklava for dessert.
If you do one thing in Santorini, do this. Panos and Nick were incredible tour guides, and took us to areas around the caldera that you would never get to on your own. Plus, their knowledge of and love for the island are obvious. This was definitely the most memorable day of our honeymoon, and we're so thankful for the experience. The food and wine were incredible, and nothing is better than a day spent out in the water here.
Excellent boat tour of Santorini and the caldera. Our captain was an excellent guide offering great history, insights, geological facts and great hospitality! His local knowledge was only surpassed by his pride for Santorini. If you don’t take this tour you will be doing your time in Santorini a disservice!
AMAZING experience on our full day private boat with Alex Private Charters. This was the best day of our honeymoon and we can’t thank our captain enough for an incredible experience. I would highly recommend the private charter to see Santorini from a different perspective.
This was our first excursion that we took in Santorini and we are glad we did. What a great day taking this private Cruise from Fira. Panos knew the area so well and took us to the hot springs for a swim and another area to swim. The food he prepared was delicious. The wine was great, but I do wish we had more of it. There were six of us and I think he only had two bottles of wine. I don't think I had any water either it wasn't easily available to drink, this was the only downfall. It is a must though to get to know the area well! We really enjoyed our trip.
