- Santorini Old Harbor - The excursion starts from the picturesque old port of Santorini. This port is only accessible by cable car which is the most common way as it takes only 3 minutes to go down, 587 steps on foot or for those who love the adventure, the local donkeys is the ideal choice to reach it. Important note : You should pay 6€ more per way either for the cable car ticket or to ride one of the donkeys. Gialos, the Old Port, lies below Fira, nestled at the foot of a rocky cliff. You will be surprised with the steep slopes of the Caldera and in the end the tiny port will appear under these huge rocks and the cave houses that seem to dangle on the cliff. There the guides of your excursion will be waiting for you, to give you all the important information and to orientate you on the boat.

Action packed tour, very accommodating, helps see unique places. - Very fun trip. Included boat ride to volcano, a tough hike, then a rewarding swim in the hot springs followed by a lunch break in Therassia which we otherwise would not have been able to see. Once in a lifetime experience. Crew were extremely accommodating and helped me lower my toddler son into the water when it was time to swim.

Pleasent boat tour - The tour was just as described and there was time enough at each stop. The ticket booth in Fira's old port was easy to find, right at the waterfront.

Get your guide but not enough seats on the boat - The volcano tour was very interesting and beautiful with the tour guide being friendly and knowledgeable. The only reason I am giving it an average score is because the boat was over crowded with not having seats for all the passengers. People were pushing past to get seats and not very friendly or polite about it.

Just ok - If you’re traveling on a budget and you cannot afford a semi private or private tour, then hey this is the wooden boat to choose…they will tell you after you walked two very challenging miles up to down to view an “active” but “dormant” volcano (without flowing lava) that your next stop if beautiful therassia. However comma, therassia is not all that beautiful. There is 15 restaurants, no place to sit, snd no sand for miles in sight. Just make sure to ask the travel agent if there is another place to enjoy possibly one with sand. Or just save tour money and opt for the semi private excursion. The travel agent also sold us this excursion by saying the boat was 50-60 percent capacity!! LIE. In fact, I feel like I need to be covid tested again, yes it was that many people and hardly no place to sit! Now the positives they speak in four different languages so you will know what’s going on etc. at all times. But who cares about all that when they are terrified of contracting covid due to an overcrowded boat tour. The hot spring portion was nice.

Nearly Stranded - I had a pretty terrible time getting on this trip. I was told to get on and off the boat several times. I was told finally to get back on the boat, only to be told I would be left on the first stop. I had to frantically call while on the boat to have it confirmed that I was allowed on this boat. It really set off the experience on a bad foot and if I hadn't had excellent service from the agent I would have been stranded on an island. Ruined the trip.
