Athinios Port Departure

Your journey begins at Athinios Port aboard an authentic Greek caique boat. Crafted by skilled woodworking craftsmen, this traditional vessel takes you first to the active volcano of Santorini. Here, explore its green sulfur waters and take a guided walking tour around the rim to learn about both history and geology while enjoying spectacular views over the surrounding islands.

Exploring Hot Springs

Your next destination is the remarkable hot springs formed by volcanic activity beneath the sea. Experience rejuvenating baths in therapeutic mineral water blended with mud, right near the Aegean shore. From here, set sail across underwater craters to Thirassia Island from Palia Kameni. Once anchored close to the island's coast, you can choose between a delightful dinner on board or spend 30 minutes swimming and admiring the scenic views.

Sunset at Oia

The Santorini Volcanic Islands Sunset Cruise concludes with an memorable sunset over Oia’s iconic whitewashed village. While enjoying this serene moment, savor a glass of wine accompanied by complimentary snacks (depending on your cruise option). Capture these stunning views in photos to preserve the perfect ending to your day.
