Overview

Your adventure begins at the old port of Fira, where you'll board a traditional boat to explore Santorini's volcanic wonders.

The first stop is the famous volcano, where you’ll spend 1.5 hours exploring its unique terrain. A 5€ entrance fee grants access to the volcanic trails. Guided by your tour escort, you’ll uncover key landmarks and fascinating stories about the volcano’s history and eruptions. The hike requires moderate effort and sturdy footwear, so come prepared for an unforgettable journey to the summit with breathtaking views.

Next, sail to the natural hot springs at Palea Kameni. To reach the warm, sulfur-rich waters, you’ll need to swim 30-50 metres from the boat to the shore. This activity is recommended only for strong swimmers due to the required distance.

Relax in the therapeutic, mineral-rich waters before returning to the boat, carrying unforgettable memories of Santorini’s natural wonders.
