Sail beneath the iconic caldera cliffs and see Santorini’s capital from its most spectacular angle.
The Fira Old Port, known as Skala Firas, sits at the base of the caldera cliff directly below Santorini’s capital. It was the main gateway to the island for centuries, and the famous zigzag path — with its 588 steps carved into the volcanic rock — still connects the port to the town above. Today it is one of the most photographed views in Santorini, and seeing it from the water gives you a perspective that no land-based visit can match.
Sailing past the Fira Old Port on our catamaran, the sheer scale of the caldera cliffs becomes fully apparent. The white-washed buildings of Fira perch impossibly far above, while the ancient port below — with its tiny dock, old winches, and fishing boats — speaks to a quieter, pre-tourism Santorini.
The area around the port is also excellent for swimming, with clear caldera waters and dramatic cliff scenery above and below the waterline. Our crew knows exactly where to anchor for the best combination of swimming, views, and photography.
