Highlights
  • Santorini Volcano - The excursion starts from the picturesque old port. It is only accessible by cable car which is the most common way as it takes 3 minutes to go down, 587 steps on foot or for those who love adventure, the local donkeys. You should pay 6€ per way either for the cable car ticket or to ride the donkeys. You will be surprised with the steep slopes and in the end the tiny port will appear under these huge rocks and the cave houses that seem to dangle on the cliff. The guide of your excursion will be waiting for you, to give you all the information and to orientate you on the boat.
    Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes, we will reach Nea Kameni’s jetty. Should you are interested to be guided at the volcano, you should pay 5 euro/ per person entrance fee. Then, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and he is going to explain everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5hr
  • Palea Kameni - Next stop will be the island of Palea Kameni where the famous hot springs are located. A place that is popular for its thermal waters. We stop there for 30 min at a distance of 30 meters from the shallow waters of Agios Nicholaos’ beach. Waters are mixed with mud and 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. In order to reach Agios Nicholaos’ beach is essential to swim extremely well.
  • Thirassia - Sailing above the underwater craters from Palia Kameni to Thirasia Island, the boat will anchor close to the island in order to enjoy your dinner or snack. Our staff will prepare everything for you so as to relax and enjoy our Greek tasteful buffet while capturing amazing photos of the Aegean sea.

The end of the excursion comes on sunset time. We set sail and the sun dives to the sea. Our boat will stop very close to Oia village where you will have the chance to watch the warm light of the setting sun under the violet sky before the night falls. This is the most unforgettable experience as the Caldera and the village of Oia will turn into gold colour. Your trip in this sanctuary of romance is going to be in your memories and your hearts forever!

Amazing - Definitely a memory of a lifetime!!! There was a miscommunication with our meeting point. Just when I thought all else was gone they contacted us, found out location and transferred us from one boat to our boat at the next stop. I was seriously impressed at their determination to get us on our right ship so we could enjoy our excursion. The sunset was breathtaking Viator rocks!!!

Best Sunset - The crew was amazing. The itinerary had something for everyone...the volcano hike was a challenge but the view was well worth it. The hot springs was very relazing and the dinner was over the top......The view at sunset was worth the price of admission within itself.

Amazing views, great guide! - Really enjoyed this tour by Santorini View aboard the Aphrodite. Interesting stops at the volcano with an optional tour to the top (moderate climb), hot springs where you can swim, decent dinner and beautiful sunset off the coast of Oia. Can’t say enough about the amazing views at every turn. Loved the guide, Ulysses, who was very knowledgeable and made the cruise fun and special.

Cold food - The experience was good but by the time we got our food, it was cold. Once we did get our food, it wasn't great.

A little underwhelming - The tour crew were awesome. I wish the tour description explained that the volcano was 1.5 hrs and you need some endurance to get up there. Also, that for the hot springs the boat docks about 50 meters out and you have to be a strong swimmer to swim to hot springs. No lifejackets are offered to get off the boat only pool noodles. Food was ok. Sunset was stunning.

The guide Ulysses was... - The guide Ulysses was excellent, also the times for all the activities proposed. Very complete and a must in Santorini. Unfortunately I think I got gastroenteritis with the food, but I’m not sure if it was from somewhere else (just coincidence?) Otherwise everything was perfect!

Lovely trip - Pick up ..driver did not have us on list, didn't tell us what was going on. let us on eventually but still no communication. Trip.....lovely boat, perfect communication and hard work from crew...could not fault them. Food delicious! And lots of it. Volcano.....only part is safely paved and we could only make it to first point but had lovely views. No good if have physical difficulties. Sulphur pools.... disappointing, and didn't bother going in. Boat can't get close due to depth....just a brown section of water. Sunset....amazing and beautiful! Pick up.... disorganised.... couldn't find out driver or mini bus, very grumpy and rude drive, no communication as to when it was our drop off...just stopped bus and waited... erratic driving, swerving into middle of road .

Misleading Description of Tour - This activity includes a description that drinks are included in the price of your ticket. This is FALSE. The crew provides wine and water during dinner ONLY. If you want something to drink at any other time during the trip, including water, there is an additional charge. If you plan to hike up the volcano, the crew instructs that a bottle of water is NECESSARY - for which there is an additional charge. The attractions, swimming, and sunset are of course amazing. However they are equally amazing from other comparably-priced tours that accurately describe what is included.
