Overview
Embark on a journey to Nea Kameni's active volcano, Palaia Kameni's hot springs, and Thirasia Island.
Highlights
- You'll look beneath the waves through a unique glass-bottom boat
- There's a chance to explore the volcano and see the inactive craters as well as the active crater
- You can enjoy a relaxing swim in the naturally heated waters
- You'll relax away from the crowds on the unspoiled island of Thirasia
After the departure from the port, your first stop is at the active Volcano of Nea Kameni. Your stay there is for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. There, you can hike and see the inactive craters and the active one at the top with a stunning view of Santorini's Caldera.
Next, the boat continues to the island of Palaia Kameni, where the Hot Springs are located. The boat anchors a few meters outside the small bay of Agios Nikolaos, and from there you can swim a distance of about 30 meters to get to the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni, where the water temperature is 20-25°C. The boat remains here for about 30 minutes for swimming.
In continuation of the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirasia. There we have 2 hours of free time. You can explore the island, swim in the crystal waters of Korfos, eat at the local taverns and take unique pictures from the island bay with a nice view of Santorini.
After the island of Thirasia, we start our return to the port by sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia and the Caldera, which makes a perfect opportunity to take pictures of the unique scenery.
