Tour Details

The tour starts at 09:20 from our office by bus. It takes you to the port of Athinios, you will board the boat and begin our trip with destination the Volcano, a distance about 15-20 minutes. You will stay there is for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

It is about 20 minutes through a walkable path to walk up to the volcano to meet the active craters. It is worth reaching the top because if you scratch the surface there, you will see steam coming out, smell the sulfur and also take wonderful pictures. After the visit of Nea Kameni, the boat continues to the island of Palaia Kameni where the Hot Springs are located. The boat anchors a few meters outside the small bay of Agios Nikolaos, it lowers down a ladder in the water and from there you can swim a distance of about 20 meters to get to the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni for which are believed to have beneficial abilities for the skin and other diseases. The water temperature is about 30-35 degrees but it continually mixes with seawater. The boat remains here for about 30 minutes for swimming. It’s enough time since there is no beach on the small island where you can stay for a while.

In continuation of the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirassia. You have 2 hours free time to swim in the crystal waters of Korfos or taste local dishes in the traditional taverns of the island. You can go on foot or by donkeys in the village of Manolas, which is very picturesque place with narrow streets and nice view to Santorini. It worths a visit. After the 2-hour pleasant break on the island of Thirassia, we start to return back to the port sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia to take pictures of the breathtaking landscape.

When we arrive in the port of Athinios there will be our bus waiting for you to get you to the village of Oia where you will have free time to wander through the narrow streets, take pictures of the fascinating scenery and watch the world-famous sunset.

Right after the sunset our bus will be waiting for you to turn you back to the starting point, where our tour ends.
