Tour Details
Tour Code: JTR06

Join our Volcano Half Day Cruise and sail across Santorini’s beautiful ‘caldera’ (flooded crater) and visit the islands of Nea Kameni and Thirasia on this 6-hour cruise.

Board a sightseeing boat from the old port, and admire Santorini’s cliffs and as you cruise to Nea Kameni. Enjoy free time to walk around its volcanic crater, swim in the warm springs, and visit Thirasia island. Explore and have lunch here at leisure before cruising back to Santorini.

The excursion starts from the picturesque old port of Santorini or from Athinios port if you book the tour with transfers.

Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini!

After 20 minutes sailing, we will reach Nea Kameni’s jetty. Should you are interested to be guided at the volcano, you should pay 5euro/ per person as an entrance fee.

Then, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and he is going to explain you everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5hr and in the end you will embark again to our boat for the next stop.

The next stop will be the island of Palea Kameni where the famous hot springs are located on the west side. A place that is really popular for its thermal waters. We will stop there for 30min at a distance of 30 meters from the shallow waters of Agios Nicholaos’ beach.

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.

Final stop is the island of Thirassia.

Thirassia is a miniature of what Santorini used to be several years ago. Today is a virgin island, still untouched by tourism and modern life style. It  is only 9 sq. km in size and has approximately 300 permanent inhabitants.

We will stay there for 2 hours, so as to explore this picturesque and traditional village as well as to taste the authentic Santorinian cuisine. You can also walk at the main village of Manolas, which is the capital of Thirassia. The view over Santorini is spectacular from there.

As our Volcano Half Day Cruise comes to and end and the tour will be finished at the old port of Fira (or for those that have selected transfers, back to their hotel. )

La publicidad del crucero es engañosa. Se indicaba que habría audio guía en español. No es cierto, ni una palabra. De haberlo sabido no hubiéramos ido. En cuanto al viaje, muy normalito. Visita al volcán con pago adicional en la puerta, 5 euros por cabeza. Y claro, sin entender nada, pues no merece la pena. Eso sí, el velero muy bonito. Insisto sobre el idioma, había varias personas que su lengua natal es el español. No acabo de entenderlo.

Le pire expérience avec edream j’ai acheter des billets d’avion a 2073 euros pour 4 personnes. Et on a annulé notre vol car après avoir acheter les billets il nous dise qu’on a le droit à 10 kilos de bagages dans le soute au lieux de 30 kilos pour chaque personne. Et maintenant je demande un remboursement mais il nous pas.c’est vraiment un mauvaise site.cest vraiment scandaleux et c’est que de l’arnaque je ne recommande Surtout pas ce site.

Pleasent boat tour. The tour was just as described and there was time enough at each stop. The ticket booth in
Fira’s old port was easy to find, right at the waterfront.

The volcano tour was very interesting and beautiful with the tour guide being friendly and knowledgeable. The only reason I am giving it an average score is because the boat was over crowded with not having seats for all the passengers. People were pushing past to get seats and not very friendly or polite about it.

If you’re traveling on a budget and you cannot afford a semi private or private tour, then hey this is the wooden boat to choose…they will tell you after you walked two very challenging miles up to down to view an “active” but “dormant” volcano (without flowing lava) that your next stop if beautiful therassia. However comma, therassia is not all that beautiful. There is 15 restaurants, no place to sit, snd no sand for miles in sight. Just make sure to ask the travel agent if there is another place to enjoy possibly one with sand. Or just save tour money and opt for the semi private excursion. The travel agent also sold us this excursion by saying the boat was 50-60 percent capacity!! LIE. In fact, I feel like I need to be covid tested again, yes it was that many people and hardly no place to sit! Now the positives they speak in four different languages so you will know what’s going on etc. at all times. But who cares about all that when they are terrified of contracting covid due to an overcrowded boat tour. The hot spring portion was nice.
