Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Santorini Volcano, 847 00 Greece

Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes sailing, we will reach Nea Kameni’s jetty. Should you are interested to be guided at the volcano, you should pay 2.5euro/ per person as an entrance fee. Then, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and he is going to explain you everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5hr and in the end you will embark again to our boat for the next stop.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Palea Kameni, Greece

Our next stop will be the island of Palea Kameni where the famous hot springs are located on the west side. A place that is really popular for its thermal waters. We will stop there for 30min at a distance of 30 meters from the shallow waters of Agios Nicholaos’ beach. The waters are mixed with mud that they are full of sulfur, iron and other metals coming from the volcano and they are very good for the skin, rheumatism, arthritis and other physical pains. Important Note : In order to reach Agios Nicholaos’ beach is essential to swim extremely well.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Explore Thirasia Santorini, Manolas 847 02, Greece

Next stop is the island of Thirassia. Thirassia is a miniature of what Santorini used to be several years ago. Today is a virgin island, still untouched by tourism and modern life style. The island of Thirassia is only 9 sq. km in size and has approximately 300 permanent inhabitants. We will stay there for 2 hours, so as to explore this picturesque and traditional village as well as to taste the authentic Santorinian cuisine. Should you wish, you can also walk at the main village of Manolas, which is the capital of Thirassia. The view over Santorini is spectacular from there.

The guide and crew were knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The tour was great, just wear good walking shoes to climb the volcano island for amazing views, and bring a swimsuit if you want to swim from the Aegean into a hot (warm) spring. Our trip lasted 6 hours and ended at Thirasa Island with good restaurant options before we headed back to port.

Amazing tour. Great guide. And well organised. Nice music on the boat. Good way to know just a little bit more about the local area. And see it from a different viewpoint (boat).

Anna out tour guide was very knowledgeable and great at explaining the history of the volcano and the island of Santorini. We got a very hazy day so unfortunately weren't able to appreciate any of the views but I'm sure they are beautiful on a clear day. We didn't partake in the swimming as the temperatures in April are still on the cold side but I'm sure it's lovely in summer. The only downside was the lady checking us in at the office at the port acted like doing her job of checking people in was a major inconvenience to her.
