Santorini Volcano and Hot Springs Tour Itinerary

Meet your captain

Head to the Old Port of Fira to catch your boat and meet the friendly crew. Make yourself comfortable as your day trip is about to begin.

Swing by the Thera volcano

Your first stop is Nea Kameni island, where you’ll stay for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Pack your camera, lace up your shoes and follow the small path to the top of the volcano.

Mellow out at the hot springs

Prepare for an equally exciting experience as your boat anchors at Agios Nikolaos Bay in Palaia Kameni. For about 30 minutes, you’ll have the chance to swim in its thermal waters, whose temperature ranges from 30-35°C.

Return with a smile on your face

Your Santorini volcano tour ends at the same spot where it started. But this time, everything is different! Because you’re filled with unforgettable memories and newfound knowledge of the island’s geology.
