Description

The Santorini volcano tour is a 3 hour visit to Santorini’s volcano and its craters and to the Hot Springs of Palaia Kameni by boat.

The Santorini volcano tour starts from the picturesque old port of Fira.

Gialos, the Old Port, lies below Fira, nestled at the foot of a rocky cliff. You will be surprised with the steep slopes of the Caldera and in the end the tiny port will appear under these huge rocks and the cave houses that seem to dangle on the cliff. There the guides of your excursion will be waiting for you, to give you all the important information and to orientate you on the boat.

Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes sailing, we will reach Nea Kameni. If you are interested to be guided at the volcano, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and you will listen to everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1,5 hour.

Next we reach by boat the island of Palea Kameni with the hot springs, the famous mud baths, which were formed as result of volcanic eruptions.

In the small bay of Agios Nikolaos the water temperature ranges from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius, as it mixes continuously with the normal sea currents. 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

The boat will be staying here about 30 minutes to allow you a healthy bath. After the bath, you will return to the old port of Fira.
