What these waters give a sailboat
The Santorini caldera, a marine crater with lava walls where depths quickly pass a hundred metres — plenty to tack across with a real destination in mind. Departure: the small Vlychada harbour on the island’s south side.
Setting the day by the wind
Here, a meltemi that accelerates along the walls — inside the caldera, buoys and skippered trips are the norm. Pick the outbound tack so you come home downwind, and the day turns easy.
