Accommodation
Excursion Itinerary: Volcanic islands day-cruise in santorini

At the appointed time, we will pick you up from your hotel or the closest meeting point to transfer you to Athinios port, to begin your adventure to the islets of the small archipelago of Santorini.

Along the way, you will marvel at the amazing shades of blue of the Aegean Sea and the Greek sky. The first stop will be at the island of Nea Kameni, which is still expanding as a result of occasional lava outflows. Here you can either stay on the boat or pay the entrance fee of 5 euros to visit the geological park. Your guide will explain to you in detail everything there is to know regarding this miracle of nature.

Leaving Nea Kameni, you will sail a little further away, to its "little sister", Palea Kameni. There, you will have the chance to swim in the famous thermal springs and apply the healing mud on your body. However, the smell of sulfur and the yellowish color will linger on your skin for quite a while.

Sailing across the underwater craters from Palia Kameni to Thirasia Island, the boat will anchor at Thirasia, where you can have lunch, and enjoy the colorful houses and big gardens as well as the marvelous views of the caldera. Keep in mind that in Thirasia they do not accept credit cards.

After exploring this virgin island with only a handful of permanent residents, you will sail back to Athinios port and be transferred to your hotel.

Greca Tip: This excursion is recommended for people in good physical condition due to the long exposure to the sun and the uphill climb to the volcano. Please note that sulfur water can discolor swimming suits.
