Santorini Glass-Bottom Boat Tour Itinerary

Kick things off in the Old Port of Fira

Take the cable car to the Old Port of Fira, where your cruise departs. For an extra charge and peace of mind, you can add your transfer to the tour. So, be sure to check all the options and pick the one that best suits your needs.

Discover the dormant Thera volcano

Set sail to Nea Kameni islet, which is only 10 minutes away from Santorini. There, you can climb a moderately challenging path to reach the top of the volcano. The expansive views and the sense of wonder smelling the sulfur is well worth the sweat.

Unwind at the famous hot springs

After your hike, there’s no better place to revivify than the mineral-rich waters of Palaia Kameni. Descend your boat’s ladder and swim to the small bay of Agios Nikolaos, home to the hot springs.

Unearth the treasures of Thirassia

Your next stop is the quitter yet equally charming neighbor of Santorini. Savor a delicious lunch paired with mouthwatering local wines. Alternatively, stroll its quaint villages adorned with traditional Cycladic architecture and blue-domed churches.

Be astounded by Oia’s landscape

Your final stop is the dramatic cliffs of Oia. As you sail past them, pause to take in the majestic scenery before snapping photos that will leave your friends in awe! Finish your cruise at the point where it all started.

Santorini Glass-Bottom Boat Tour In Detail

If you ever wished you could explore both Santorini’s volcanic surroundings and underwater life, this is your best chance!

Lace-up your shoes and get ready to hike to the peak of Thera volcano. Once on the top, don’t forget to scratch the surface of the craters to see steam coming out. This is also a fantastic spot to take panoramic photos.

Up next, head to Palaia Kameni islet, where you can relax in the hot springs for about 30 minutes. Your adventure continues with a 2-hour stop at Thirassia. From Manolas village to the abandoned settlement of Agrilia, each spot offers a glimpse into the island’s rich history.

On your way back, marvel at the impressive cliffs right below Oia. The striking contrast between the whitewashed buildings and rugged volcanic rocks creates a picture-perfect scene you’ll never forget.
