Highlights
- Santorini Volcano - The ship will stay there for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Walking up to the volcano to see the active craters takes about 20 minutes along a walkable path. It’s worth reaching the top because when you get there, you can scratch the surface to see steam rising, smell the sulfur, and take pictures.

It’s worth reaching the top because when you get there, you can scratch the surface to see steam rising, smell the sulfur, and take pictures.
- Palea Kameni - After visiting Nea Kameni, 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, lowers a ladder into the water, and from there you can swim about 30 meters to reach the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni, which are believed to have beneficial properties for the skin and other ailments. The water temperature is 30-35 degrees but constantly mixes with seawater. The boat stays here for about 30 minutes for swimming. It’s quite a time since there is no beach on the small island where you can stay for a while.
- Thirassia - Continuing the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirassia. You have 2 hours of free time to swim in the crystal waters of Korfos or eat in traditional taverns offering various island dishes. You can walk or ride donkeys to the village of Manolas, which is very picturesque with narrow streets and a nice view of Santorini, and worth a visit. After the 2-hour pleasant break on Thirassia, we start to return to the old port, sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia to take pictures of the unique scenery.

A nice excursion and attentive staff - Overall, we had a great day, the crew being friendly and providing clear explanations (in Greek and English), especially about the history of the volcano. The duration of the stages is well thought out and allows time to discover the volcano, the hot springs, and the island of Thirasia. On the return the crew made sure to show us Oia seen from below along the cliff, which was great.
On the other hand we found the hot springs a little disappointing. We had a memory of warmer and slightly bubbling springs, not just a slightly warmer brownish water creek with questionable hygiene.
The walk up to Fira (588) steps was physical but friendly (25min). Those wanting to climb up by cable car having to queue for a while (not for the descent). The other option is to go up on a donkey.
