Enjoy a cruise aboard the motorized sailing boat "Pegasus" around the breathtaking island of Santorini.

Continue to the island of Therasia, for some free time, and perhaps ride a mule to the village of Manolas. Return to the port of Athinios in Santorini in the afternoon, passing by the beautiful cliffs and the picturesque village of Oia.

Please note that this tour involves strenuous uphill walking on uneven surfaces and may not be suitable for all travelers. Comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended. Also, the temperature of the bay's waters varies by season and the sulfur springs do not substantially increase the water's temperature.
