Very nice tour and friendly staff, amazingly beautiful views - Very nice boat tourthe staff is very friendly and helpful, describing the various points very nicely, and very clear about meeting points and times at each of the 4 stops. The views from the upper deck are magnificent, islands, boats, the beautiful white Santorini houses look magnificent. The swimming is very nice. The lower deck has glass bottom to see the water that really shows the boat speed and the depth of the water and sea floor at the stop where the water is crystal clear. Snorkeling at Thirasia at the stop place near the restaurant is very beautiful, crystal clear waters, saw hundreds of fish (must bring swimming goggles and swim shoes because there are small rocks instead of sand). Saw white fish (larger, maybe 10 inch long, some 2 inch) with gray lines or gray dots grazing on the rocks, smaller orange and black fish (4 inch), small green fish (4 inch), long pencil like fish (25 inch long, 1cm wide) that stay very still then start wiggling and swim a little then stand very still, it was a very nice surprise to see, all fish within 10 meters of the restaurant's wall where the water is less cold and less deep. The meeting point for the boat tour is at the Old Port, not accessible by car, only by cable car (10 euros each way), by donkey (6 euro each way) or by hundreds of stairs between the cliff top and the sea level (easy steps, small, not tall steps). The views of all islands, especially of the Santorini cliffs and white buildings are absolutely spectacular. We took the day boat tour, not the evening tour, and it was 5 hour and a half.

Disappointed 😞 - In useless glass background nothing is visible even a fish. Be careful the agency does not tell you that the visit of the volcano is extra charge. What's wrong?

Great places, disappointing experience - Although the places are lovely, the disappointment came from the lack of kindness of the crew and the dirty and smelly bathrooms.
