Once you’ve had your dose of Cretan culture it will be time for your 11am departure and sail towards Santorini.
Santorini will take your breath away. It is a harsh island to look at and is almost eerie as the ship approaches its steep black cliff and little white houses perched on the edge. The main town of Fira is the perfect place for some souvenier shopping of unforgettable gifts followed by a visit to the town of Oia for the most spectacular sunset you will ever see.
