Highlight of our Santorini visit - There are many choices for cruises and we are glad we chose to cruise on “”Orama”. They picked us up at our hotel to take us to the ship. We had 12-15 on board and an amazing crew of 3.
We stopped at Thirissia to see the local fishing island and then had a swim stop at the hot springs. Not too hot, but fun to get in the water. A highlight was a swim stop at Black Beach (I think) where we could snorkel with hundreds of beautiful blue fish. Johnny was always there to greet us with a towel and refill our wine or water. We also saw White Beach and Red Beach. Then we had an incredible sunset.
We never got off the ship.
We anchored and had an amazing, high quality dinner prepared on the boat. Our chef (forget her name but she was wonderful) prepared a feast with large shrimp, grilled chicken, mussels, salads, tzatziki, eggplant spread and more. Later there was a delicious yogurt dessert.
Worth the $200.

“ In my Opinion “ - We scheduled through our awesome travel agency Myths and Muses. We weren’t sure what to expect, but from the Transport from our hotel by Mitos to a fabulous cruise team it couldn’t have been better. Our Capt Nikolas and first mate Anne made the day special. Anne was super sweet and thoughtful for my wife’s Birthday and Capt. Nikolas was far wiser than his age being the youngest Capt. His sense of humor and calm casual demeanor was awesome. In addition the wives couldn’t help but mention he was a great looking kid. I know there are lots of crews but in my opinion, Capt Nikolas and Anne are top shelf.

Amazing sunset cruise on the Orama! - This semi private sunset cruise was incredible! The boat was spacious and comfortable and the crew was incredibly professional and knowledgeable.
We had an amazing time! The food they prepared was amazing. The crew was so great playing music and creating a very fun atmosphere! We went on the Orama and Stamatia was in charge of making sure everyone was having an amazing time.
10/10 recommend!

A must do in Santorini! a great experience - Booking from our Aetheria Villas hotel, thanks to Eugénia. Go to Oia to go to the port by mini bus on time and then return to Oia. We enjoyed the ride despite the weather not being the best. My memories are magnificent. We shared this experience with a very friendly group, saw magnificent landscapes with explanations on the different rocks of the White Beach, Red Beach, Black Mountains coasts, the cape with its lighthouse, the volcano and the islands and the Sunset of course. A simple but very good and copious meal, as well as drinks, prepared on board by a very attentive crew! Swimming is a little chilly, but you can feel the hot springs a bit, towels are available on board 😉.
We recommend without hesitation!

Sunset cruise with food and booze😁! - This sunset cruise was the highlight of our trip to Santorini. My wife and I made it a point to experience as much of Santorini as possible in our 5 days on the island. This cruise will not disappoint. Our driver picked us up from our hotel and drove us right to the boat dock. The crew aboard the Oraua was very hospitable and have us an experience we will never forget... And the food was prepared onboard and was very tasty. I highly recommend this cruise.

Great experience all around! - I have nothing but great things to say about our cruise! The catamaran was immaculate and very comfortable, I love they only take small groups of people so there is plenty of room to move depending on what we were looking at. The BBQ dinner was surprisingly great! They bbq’d chicken and sausage right on the boat, also had several salads, rice, dolma, fava beans, fruit, bread, and a few other things. Unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks also included. The crew was so nice & friendly, they provided some history at each place but not so much we couldn’t enjoy the sites. The boat does anchor for a short period so you can swim in hot springs of the Caldera - it’s warm but really smelly of sulfur! Stopped again to watch the sunset - gorgeous views!! Giving this trip 10/10!

Almost - Bit of a mixup. We signed up for the 14 passenger cruise , were placed on on with 20 people, cruise operator promised a cost adjustment. Waiting for that to arrive. Beyond that the cruise was fine and the views were excellent.
