Itinerary
The ship will stay there is for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. To walk up to the volcano to meet the active craters is about 20 minutes through a walkable path. It is worth to reach the top because when you arrive there,if you scratch the surface you will see steam coming out, smell the sulfur and also take pictures.
After the visit of Nea Kameni, the boat continues to the island of Palaia Kameni where the Hot Springs are located. The boat anchors a few meters outside the small bay of Agios Nikolaos,it lowers down a ladder in the water and from there you can swim a distance of about 30 meters to get to the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni for which are believed to have beneficial abilities for the skin and other diseases. The water temperature is 30-35 degrees but it constantly mixes with seawater. The boat remains here for about 30 minutes for swimming. It's quite a time since there is no beach on the small island where you can stay for a while.
In continuation of the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirassia. You have 2 hours free time to swim in the crystal waters of Korfos or eating in traditional taverns with different dishes of the island. You can go on foot or by donkeys in the village of Manolas, which is very picturesque with narrow streets and nice view to Santorini and worth a visit. After the 2 hour pleasant break on the island of Thirassia, we start to return back to the old port sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia to take pictures of the unique scenery.

Excellent boat trip! The crew made us feel welcome and safe. Our guide, Ekavi was amazing , her knowledge was impressive - she shared fun facts and you could see that she genuinely loves what she does! The scenes were amazing, absolutely recommend!
Everything worked great, nice tour, highly recommended! The combination of exercise, swimming and relaxation was great.
Overall, we had a great day, the crew being friendly and providing clear explanations (in Greek and English), especially about the history of the volcano. The duration of the stages is well thought out and allows time to discover the volcano, the hot springs, and the island of Thirasia. On the return the crew made sure to show us Oia seen from below along the cliff, which was great. On the other hand we found the hot springs a little disappointing. We had a memory of warmer and slightly bubbling springs, not just a slightly warmer brownish water creek with questionable hygiene. The walk up to Fira (588) steps was physical but friendly (25min). Those wanting to climb up by cable car having to queue for a while (not for the descent). The other option is to go up on a donkey.
