WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Santorini Volcano
The Santorini volcano tour starts from the picturesque old port of Fira. 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. Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes sailing, we will reach Nea Kameni. If you are interested to be guided at the volcano, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and you will listen to everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1,5 hour.

3. Palea Kameni
Next we reach by boat the island of Palea Kameni with the hot springs, the famous mud baths, which were formed as result of volcanic eruptions. In the small bay of Agios Nikolaos the water temperature ranges from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius, as it mixes continuously with the normal sea currents. The waters are mixed with mud that they 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. Important Note : In order to reach Agios Nicholaos’ beach is essential to swim extremely well The boat will be staying here about 30 minutes to allow you a healthy bath. After the bath, you will return to the old port of Fira.

None, thought we were going to see a volcano but saw a vent in the side. Totally false wording. Rest ok.

Georgia was fantastic and the whole experience was awesome. The hike up the volcano wasn’t too challenging, and we were given breaks to catch our breath. The swim in the hot springs were amazing, but make sure to wear a dark swim suit as the minerals will stain light colors. Also recommend showering and especially washing your hands before you do anything else, as I caught a mild bacterial infection from the swim.

We chose to tour areas of Greece without taking a big cruise liner- with this tour and others we enjoyed the beautiful water without the fuss of cruising! The boat was comfortable and i even got in the water for the hot springs- it was cold before it was hot- but a lovely little dip!
The crew was lovely and the explanation of the area very interesting!

Excellent tour and history of the volcano and formation of Santorini as it is today. If you plan to swim wear a dark bathing suit.

Very well conducted excursion. On Nea Kameni the geological landscape is spectacular and the guide gives us a host of very interesting explanations in very clear and perfect English.

The view from the volcano island was great. FYI the volcano is not showing lava. Only some smoke and sulfur smells

Nothing to do with Italian volcanoes…disappointing You have to pay 5€ to climb for twenty minutes, take two photos and come back down. No interest
