Windy Conditions for Boat and Hike

This post got removed by the mods, and I’m not sure why so posting again…

Does anyone have experience they could share about hiking the Fira-Oia trail and taking catamaran cruise during very windy conditions? The day I have reserved for cruise next Sunday looks to be pretty rough and windy (25+mph, gusting to 40). Will the boat captain take us to more protected places? Will the water be too churned up for snorkeling? My wife has a tendency to get seasick so she’ll definitely take a Dramamine either way.

Also, would it be actually dangerous to hike the caldera path if the wind is that strong?

The temperature looks to be around 65 degrees so not concerned about it being too hot at least!

Thanks for any advice!

Windy conditions Boat/Hike

Hi again,

Does anyone have experience they could share about hiking the Santorini Fira-Oia trail and taking catamaran cruise during very windy conditions? The day I have reserved for cruise next Sunday looks to be pretty rough and windy (25+mph, gusting to 40). Will the boat captain take us to more protected places? Will the water be too churned up for snorkeling? My wife has a tendency to get seasick so she’ll definitely take a Dramamine either way.

The temperature looks to be around 65 degrees so not concerned about it being too hot at least!

Thanks for any advice!

Wondering if my plan to do both a morning Caldera hike from Fira to Oia, and an afternoon/sunset cruise departing from Ammoudi Bay in the same day is too much?

Relatively fit couple traveling with our 20 and 16 year old boys and we are not the type to sit around the pool all day.

Only in Santorini for two full days (the other day we are renting a car to explore other parts of the island) so we tend to cram a lot in.

Thanks for any advice! We leave for Greece one week from today!

Also - how early do we need to be at Santorini airport for flight back to Athens?
