Spend about five hours on a private Santorini fishing cruise with Captain Makis and first mate Elias.

“Captain Makis and Ilias were absolutely phenomenal, and provided my family and I the most fun and memorable experience. We got to see the volcanic islands of Santorini up close, viewing sites most tourists don’t get to see. We even caught a blue fin tuna that Makis and Ilias fully prepared (along with some unbelievable tomato fritters) that we consider the best meal of our trip. Ending with views of the Santorini sunset was icing on the cake. An absolute must during your stay in Santorini!”

Skevod was honest with us about the current situation with the water and that it could be difficult to catch a fish. But they tried everything for us and at the end we were all lucky :) the food was amazing! Couldn’t describe it. Tasted like heaven :)) worth every penny. Ευχαριστώ Skevos”
