Itinerary
It departs from the Old port of Fira at 15:30 with a wooden sailling boat. After a short trip of 10min it reaches the small port of Nea Kameni , where the active volcano is. There you have 1h and 15m, enough time to visit the active crater of the volcano, where there is still smoke coming out and keenly smells sulfur. The boat will depart afterwards for the island of Palaia Kameni, where the hot springs are located. In the small bay of Agios Nikolaos the water temperature is 30-35 degrees Celcious. The boat remains there for 30m, 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 located. After swimming the boat will start sailing around the caldera enjoying the landscape: the houses that literally hang on the edge of the cliff, in combination with the beautiful colours of the sunset!

This tour was well worth the value. The guide provided interesting information of the volcano with spectacular views. The highlight was the sunset and the guide even serenaded us with his guitar. The captain was so friendly, making sure the guests were pleased. Highly recommend this tour.
