Day Trips from Santorini 2026
3 excursions from €110
Day trips from Santorini are mostly water-based — a catamaran day cruise around the volcano (Nea Kameni hot springs, Thirassia for lunch, Red and White beaches), a fast-ferry hop to Ios for a half-day beach run, or the longer day-tripper to Anafi. Land excursions inside Santorini cover the wine region (Pyrgos, Megalochori, Santo Wines) and the Akrotiri archaeological site. Most catamaran day trips run 5–6 hours from Vlychada and include lunch and snorkelling.
