“The day was beautiful. The pick up and drop off was seamless. The crew was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was plentiful. The music was a bit loud and off point for the crowd on this particular trip however. The trip was fun but the sunset was a bit underwhelming since the back of the boat was facing the sunset limiting everyone from enjoying it and there are hundreds of boats in the same spot; one pulled right in front of us blocking the sunset. Not sure the sunset cruise is the way to enjoy the Santorini sunset but overall a relaxing day on the water.”
