Your Experience
The journey begins as your sightseeing boat sets sail towards Nea Kameni for an initial stopover at the Santorini Volcano. Here, you'll be greeted by the striking cliffs of Santorini in their vibrant hues. During this 1.5-hour visit, hike up to the volcanic crater with a knowledgeable guide (2.5€ entrance fee per person) and capture stunning photos while learning about its fascinating history.
Next, anchor at the renowned thermal waters near Agios Nicholaos beach’s shallow areas for an engaging 30-minute soak within just 30 meters of shore. These mineral-rich waters offer therapeutic benefits for skin conditions and ailments like rheumatism and arthritis due to their iron, sulfur, and metal content derived from the volcano.
Following this, set sail towards Thirassia - your final destination on today's Santorini Volcano & Thirassia Half Day Cruise. Explore its quaint charm for two hours; it mirrors ancient Santorini with just 9 sq km in size and about 300 residents who maintain traditional customs away from modern life’s hustle. Savor authentic local dishes, stroll through Manolas - the principal village offering stunning views of Santorini.
