What To Expect
Santorini Volcano
Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes sailing, we will reach Nea Kameni’s jetty. Should you are interested to be guided at the volcano, you should pay 5euro/ per person as an entrance fee. Then, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and he is going to explain you everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5hr and in the end you will embark again to our boat for the next stop.

Palea Kameni
Our next stop will be the island of Palea Kameni where the famous hot springs are located on the west side. A place that is really popular for its thermal waters. We will stop there for 30min at a distance of 30 meters from the shallow waters of Agios Nicholaos’ beach. 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.

Next stop is the island of Thirassia. Thirassia is a miniature of what Santorini used to be several years ago. Today is a virgin island, still untouched by tourism and modern life style. The island of Thirassia is only 9 sq. km in size and has approximately 300 permanent inhabitants. We will stay there for 2 hours, so as to explore this picturesque and traditional village as well as to taste the authentic Santorinian cuisine. Should you wish, you can also walk at the main village of Manolas, which is the capital of Thirassia. The view over Santorini is spectacular from there.

5 thumbs up to our guide Ulysses for guiding us through the volcano and sharing with us historical and geographical data about the island. Thanks for his patience and sense of humour.
Even though we were surprised to be on our own during bus transfers and we got bored while waiting for sunset in Oia ( pronounce “e-I “)among masses of tourists, we’ve enjoyed that dynamic day hiking, swimming, cruising and marveling at instagrammable Santorini!
Great experience to see Santorini from a different perspective

The whole day was a superb and unforgettable experience. The first stop at the volcano - Nea Kameni - could have been shorter, as the walk to the summit was not enjoyed by everyone! The stop for swimming in the hot springs could have been longer. Thirasia island made a pleasant break for lunch - at the busy Captain's tavern with excellent service. The stop here could have been longer, giving more time to explore the island.
Cruising under the cliffs of Oia provided another unique perspective of the island. After being dropped off at the port, we were transported by bus to Oia itself, where we could explore until 9 pm after viewing the sunset and enjoying a meal at a taverna.
The caique itself (converted wooden fishing vessel) was immaculate and the crew were friendly and helpful.
Definitely a cruise to be remembered and recommended to all visitors to Santorini.

Good for the price. Only way they could have gotten 5 stars is if the tour guides had a little more enthusiasm. They were great at what they did but they didn't seem to Love what they did. Would have also loved to stay at the hot springs longer instead of staying on Thirassia for two hours. 30 minutes to get off the boat one by one then swim 50meters was not enough time to enjoy the hot springs.

L’excursion est intéressante
Dommage que le car de ramassage était en retard et le chauffeur peu aimable
Visite des citées perdues de Santorin
