Our captain will dock in one of these bays giving the guests an extended swim stop and time to snorkel or use the various water toys on the yacht. We will arrive in Vis in the mid-afternoon. Vis was once a strategic Yugoslav naval base and off-limits to visitors. Due to the island’s seclusion and isolation, Vis has retained a very unique charm that typifies ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’.

You’ll have time to explore its famous saltwater lakes on your own, including Great Lake, with tiny St. Mary Islet in the middle home to an ancient Benedictine monastery.

Enjoy a grand finale by hopping on the cable car to the top of Srd Mountain which brings a jaw-dropping 360-degree panoramic view over the rooftops of the city, the sea and nearby islands.

If you’d rather, you can relax and just enjoy soaking up the view all day, but you’ll have the opportunity to make the most of your time on Santorini with an optional tour of the ancient city of Thera. It sits along a mountain ridge and was inhabited from the 9th-century BC through the early 8th-century AD, named after the mythical ruler of the island, Theras.
