Itinerary
After a short trip of 10 minutes it reaches the small port of Nea Kameni , where the active volcano is. Your time there is for about 1 hour and 15 minutes where you can walk up and visit this wild landscape with the different volcanic rocks and the active craters of the volcano , where there is still smoke coming out and keenly smells sulfur.
To continue , the boat will depart for the island of Palaia Kameni , where the hot springs are located. Inside the small bay of Agios Nikolaos the water temperature is 30-35 degrees Celcious but it constantly mixes with seawater. The boat stays for about 30 minutes , enough time since there is no beach , but you have to climb down a ladder of the boat into the sea and swim a distance of about 30 meters to the interior of the small bay , where the mud baths are.
After swimming at the hot springs the boat will start a sail around the caldera where you can take magnificent pictures of the landscape and the houses that literally hang on the edge of the cliff , in compination with the beautiful colours of the sunset. On a wooden boat with sails , listening to nice music and enjoying a glass of local wine. After the sunset the boat returns back to the old port of Fira.

Walk down to the port is long, be careful with all the stairs and be prepared with good shoes. Boat experience was nice! Climbing the volcano was doable, once again recommend good shoes! The hot spring is not hot, but rather a warmer temperature than normal…. Swim out to the springs and back was fine, please ensure everyone is a good swimmer. One person on our party knows swimming but without life vest didn’t feel comfortable so they ended up staying on the boat per recommendation of the guide. You get one alcoholic white wine drink - at sunset, all other drinks including water and beer are by purchase only! Sunset was beautiful to witness and we had a bonus with Costa our guide singing and playing the guitar. Very nice experiences!
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for joining our Sunset Cruise! We’re glad you enjoyed the experience. Walking on volcanic terrain indeed requires comfortable, walking shoes, which we always recommend to ensure a safe and pleasant hike. The safety of our guests is always our top priority. For this reason, our guides carefully assess whether each guest feels comfortable swimming the short distance of about 30 meters to the hot springs before allowing them to do so. We truly appreciate your thoughtful comments and hope to welcome you again on board for another memorable experience!
