- Santorini Volcano - The ship will remain here for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. The walk to the volcano’s active craters takes about 20 minutes along a walkable path. Reaching the top is rewarding, as you can see steam rising from the surface, smell the sulfur, and capture stunning photos.
- Palea Kameni - Following the visit to Nea Kameni, the boat proceeds to the island of Palaia Kameni, home to the Hot Springs. The boat anchors a few meters from the small bay of Agios Nikolaos, lowering a ladder into the water. From there, you can swim about 30 meters to reach the renowned mud baths of Palaia Kameni, believed to have beneficial effects on the skin and other ailments. The water temperature ranges from 30-35 degrees but is constantly mixed with seawater. The boat stays here for about 30 minutes for swimming, as there is no beach on the small island for extended stays.
- Thirassia - Continuing the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirassia. You have 2 hours of free time to swim in the crystal-clear waters of Korfos or dine in traditional taverns offering various island dishes. You can walk or ride donkeys to the village of Manolas, which is charming with its narrow streets and offers a beautiful view of Santorini, making it worth a visit. After the enjoyable 2-hour break on Thirassia, the journey back to the old port begins, sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia to capture photos of the unique scenery.

A nice excursion and attentive staff - Overall, we had a great day, the crew being friendly and providing clear explanations (in Greek and English), especially about the history of the volcano. The duration of the stages is well thought out and allows time to discover the volcano, the hot springs, and the island of Thirasia. On the return the crew made sure to show us Oia seen from below along the cliff, which was great.
On the other hand we found the hot springs a little disappointing. We had a memory of warmer and slightly bubbling springs, not just a slightly warmer brownish water creek with questionable hygiene.
The walk up to Fira (588) steps was physical but friendly (25min). Those wanting to climb up by cable car having to queue for a while (not for the descent). The other option is to go up on a donkey.
