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.

Great experience. The volcano is mind blowing. Costas, our guide, was friendly and made sure everything worked well. The boat is a bit too crowded. There was barely room for sitting, since people carry backpacks and take more space. If you are one of the last ones to board, you will get a lousy place to sit.
Fantastic value for money booked in advance. A full day of great experiences. Would recommend to all
Thanks so much for your review! We hope to see you again soon.
Great boat tour of the caldera, the volcano is a good walk but not too long. Wear proper shoes! Swimming in the hot springs is nice and relaxing and a welcome break after the volcano walk. Nice little stop in Thirassia, followed by a beautiful sunset. We were pleasantly surprised by our awesome tour guide, Konstantinos playing guitar for us as the sunset. Amazing!
We appreciate your feedback! We’re happy you had a memorable experience.
Great excursion. It was half full so we had room to move around on the ship. Went to the volcano, quick swim in steam waters, could have used more time here. Watching the sunset near Oia was very nice
Thanks so much for your review! We hope to see you again soon.
Excellent! And the guide was outstanding. The cruise is well planned and is quite comfortable in terms of time.
It was a pleasure having you on board. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
Very happy with this trip 5hours well spent. Sea was a little choppy so our sunset spot changed slightly but you really do cover the whole caldera. Amazing views. Costas the guide was very informative and encouraging up the volcano climb.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We’re delighted you joined us on the tour.
I've done lots of boat trips on holidays of all different costs and can honestly say that this one was fantastic .Really good value and the crew were polite , friendly and kind . The boat was not packed and the itinerary was exactly as promised . We walked down the steps at Thira to the boat and got the cable car back up . Our guide on the volcano was fun and knowledgeable and we had just the right amount of time there . The boat was authentic and clean and we had fun jumping off into the sea . Definitely recommend this trip to watch the sunset away from the busy crowds .
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour and hope to welcome you again soon.

Our guide, Konstantinos, was excellent and provided fantastic information throughout the whole cruise.He was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make the trip special, even playing some music and singing for us during the sunset. It made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
