Sunset Cruise
I took my partner on a surprise sunset cruise to propose to her. We were picked up from our hotel by the Captain, Ilias, and taken to the luxury yacht where we met our guide, Tzanes. We set off for the tour sat on the front of the yacht with Tzanes coming to give us information about the island and it's history as we past points of interest. We were kept supplied with drinks throughout too. We were shown many sites before going into a bay for a swim while Ilias and Tzanes prepared an outstanding BBQ for the two of us. They were both in on the main reason for the sunset tour beforehand and had already chosen the perfect time and place to stop so we could take pictures. Tzanes started recording as I popped the question as the sun was going down, then Tzanes popped the champagne cork as she said yes. After the celebrations we had a steady ride back to shore. I can't thank them and Pelagos Cruises enough for this cruise and will definitely go back again when we return to Santorini., A great experience!, Excellent!, Well organized!, Wonderful experience!, Our guide was awesome!
