Itinerary
- 1Thirassia
2 hr - A tour to the islands of caldera with low cost is our trip with a glass bottom boat that departs from the old port in Fira at 10:45 with destination the Volcano, a distance of just 10 minutes from the bay of Fira.
- 2Santorini Volcano
1 hr 15 min - Your stay there is for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. To walk up to the volcano to meet the active craters is about 20 minutes through a walkable path. It is worth to reach the top because when you arrive there, if you scratch the surface you will see steam coming out, smell the sulfur and also take pictures.
- 3Nea Kameni
30 min - After the visit of Nea Kameni, the boat continues to the island of Palaia Kameni where the Hot Springs are located. The boat anchors a few meters outside the small bay of Agios Nikolaos, it lowers down a ladder in the water and from there you can swim a distance of about 30 meters to get to the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni for which are believed to have beneficial abilities for the skin and other diseases. The water temperature is 30-35 degrees but it constantly mixes with seawater. The boat remains here for about 30 minutes for swimming. It's quite some time since there is no beach on the small island where you can stay for a while.
- 4Stop 4
2 hr - In continuation of the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirassia. You have 2 hours free time to swim in the crystal waters of Korfos or eating in traditional taverns with different dishes of the island. After the 2 hour pleasant break on the island of Thirassia, we start to return back to the old port sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia to take pictures of the unique scenery. The disembarkation is at 17:15 in the picturesque old port of Fira.

I really enjoyed this tour! Climb the volcano on Nea Kemini, swim to the hot springs on Palea Kemini (if you're a strong swimmer - 2 people from our group had to be rescued - but it is fun enough just staying on the boat and taking photos of the volcanic rocks, pigs and goats, and the other boats), pick a place for lunch in the port at Thirasia, and climb the steps to the top if you want to (beautiful views). On the way back the boat stops for a bit to give you a chance to look through the glass bottom (not much to see but rocks and a very few tiny fish on my trip but the color of the water is beautiful), and then sail past Oia to view it from the sea. The tour guide goes up the volcano with the group and provides lots of info as well as giving some info about each of the other stops while on the boat (in English, French and Italian). Other than that, you have free time to explore on your own. A very fun day.
Sunny days
The boat trip included everything you would want to see. The staff were friendly and helpful. The volcano walk was long and hot - I wouldn’t really bother doing this again, but I’m also lazy! The thermal springs was a good opportunity to cool down, and Therassia was a pretty stop off. I really enjoyed the day and thought it good value.
Around the half moon
Amazing experience of cruise around Santorini, I love all trip: volcan, hot springs, Phirassia island lunch and Oia sunset.
Ótima experiência, não tivemos problema algum (exceto que esquecemos que tínhamos o Transfer incluso na ida hahaha)
Uma experiência incrível, o passeio completo tem Transfer desde o hotel para o Porto de Athinios, então de lá fomos ao porto de Fira (que chamam o “antigo porto”, lembrando que fira é o “centro” de Santorini, super simples e economizando a viagem para o ponto de partida (que tem custo de deslocamento + custo de descida ao porto de Fira - 6 euros por pessoa por trecho de subida-descida no “teleférico” ou de burrinho mesmo). Talvez tenhamos tido sorte porque a embarcação não estava tão cheia, aproveitamos muito, a subida ao vulcão é cansativa, ademais tudo tranquilo e acessível para qualquer idade!
Average trip, not worthy
10 min on boat until you get to volcano Volcano entry :5e per person which is extremely expensive. Nothing interesting to see there Another 15 minutes on boat Hot springs was nice, but we stayed just 15 min there. Another 15 minutes on boat Thirasia : just expensive restaurant and no enough time to go to the village. 20 minutes to be back to the port We didn't find the trip to be interesting and it's not worthy. Better to spend time elsewhere. The boat trip and volcano entry are just cash grabs.
