What to expect
The tour begins with a bus transfer from the pick-up point to Athinios Port. From there, a boat takes you to the lava island Nea Kameni, where you can hike the soil path to the crater of the still-active volcano. After exploring the crater, you return to the boat, which heads to the second lava island, Palea Kameni, home to the famous hot springs. The boat stops about 50 meters from the springs, allowing you to swim in the green sulphur waters, dip your feet, or simply enjoy the view. Next, the tour continues to Thirassia Island, once part of Santorini before the volcano's great eruption. You'll spend two hours there—swim at the beach, enjoy lunch by the sea, or explore the village of Manolas with its winding steps and traditional homes. On the return to Athinios Port, you'll cruise beneath Oia, the perfect spot to capture photos of the dramatic cliffs and stunning scenery.
