Catamaran Charter in Santorini

The Best Time to Charter in Santorini

Thanks to an abundance of great weather, chartering a catamaran in Santorini is an almost year-round opportunity. High season tends to occur in the mid-summer months, especially late July, and August. Meltemi Winds in June make this month a little more difficult to sail, however it is a gamble, and you could get lucky. Many people prefer to avoid the crowds with a charter in early spring or late autumn. In fact, if you are looking for warmer water temperatures for swimming, then it is recommended to visit Santorini in August or September.

Unique Things to Do in Santorini

Oia

At first you may think that the sunset of Oia is not hidden – in fact, it draws hundreds of tourists every evening who are visiting Santorini and features an eruption of applause once the sun has settled beneath the horizon. Although beautiful, the crowded streets and rooftops can prove a little overwhelming. For an equally as impressive view without the interruption of hundreds of people, why not go see the sun rise early in the morning? You can leave your chartered catamaran and wander through the deserted streets and gain a truly magical perspective of Santorini without the throngs of people.

Reach New Heights

Looking for something relaxing yet unforgettable? A parasailing trip over Perivolos Beach could be the thing for you. Although you will be far from the comfort of your catamaran as you reach over 300feet in the air, the views are simply delightful. Santorini’s gorgeous coastal scenery is best observed from the sky. Even better is to do it at sunset, when the colours are reflected perfectly off the serene blue ocean. What better way than to see Santorini from a unique perspective?

The Hot Springs

A slightly disconcerting yet immensely enjoyable experience, swimming in these hot springs of Nea Kameni is said to have many health and skin benefits. Either way, the unique feeling of taking a dip in the ocean and not being shocked by the cold temperatures is one of the highlights of a catamaran charter in Santorini. Volcanic activity in this island has shaped the natural landscape in diverse ways that make it a truly unique island. If you want to see more of the impact of volcanic activity on Santorini, you can even take jet-ski tours to a volcano!

Where to Eat in Santorini?

An abundance of exquisite dining locations with stellar views of the coast of Santorini awaits you on your catamaran charter holiday. The range of dishes on offer across the island means you are truly spoiled for choice. Why not enjoy a meal with a true Greek ambiance and music at To Pinakio Restaurant? Or sample some of the innovative creations whilst overlooking stunning beaches in Onar Restaurant in Imerovigli? If you are looking for something quick, easy and delicious, then Ladokolla is the place for you, as there are no frills or fancy décor – just good, fresh produce. Santorini restaurants really go above and beyond to ensure the food is prepared in an inventive, delicious way.

How to Get to Santorini

Such a popular destination for catamaran charter holidays means that Santorini is easily accessible from a variety of major European cities which all offer direct flights. If your airport does not fly directly to Santorini, you can stop over in Athens and get a connecting flight. Visitors from the USA can choose to fly into a European destination or Athens itself for the connecting flight. Buses and taxis operate transfer services between the airport and the marina.
