Take the ferry to Santorini and then explore its caldera. You'll be above the underwater craters from Palia Kameni to Thirasia Island. The end of the excursion is at sunset when the boat will stop very close to Oia village where you will have the chance to watch the warm light of the setting sun under the violet sky before the night falls. This is the most unforgettable experience as the caldera and the village of Oia will shine in gold.
