We did the Sanyo Star Sunset Cruise on the Aphrodite. It involved the volcano and hot springs, as well as the sunset in Oia and a dinner - So it suited us, we weren’t fussed about sailing around the island to the breaches like the catamaran’s for.
It started off a bit dodgy, a brake down on one boat meant the tour started 20 minutes late and there was pretty much chaos at the port with boats, crew and hundreds of tourists all jostling about.
Still, when we got going it was good fun. The hike broke up the boat journey and was interesting, the swimming and the hot springs were good fun too - Although, if you aren’t a great swimmer it’s probably 50-70 metres open water to and from the boat.
Then the dinner was actually great, my girlfriend is a veggie and had a load of choice. Then the sunset was beautiful and everyone sat in silence and watched it.
Overall, really good; enough space on the boat - Not packed in like sardines but definitely busy. Overall well worth the money but frustrating start down at the port and dealing with other holidaymakers who weren’t particularly conscientious.
