Santorini Port: Cruise to Volcano, Hot Springs & Thirassia

1.Cruise to Volcano, Hot Springs & Thirassia

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 992 reviews · 6 hours · from $41Our pick

Spend six hours by boat among Santorini’s caldera islands, with a guided visit to Nea Kameni’s volcanic paths, a swim stop at Palea Kameni and free time on Thirassia. An English-speaking guide and onboard audio commentary add context. Bring a dark swimsuit, sturdy shoes and cash for the volcano fee.

“The tour is good value for money, including three stops at the volcano (Nea Kammeni Islet), the hot springs at Palaia Kammeni Islet and Thirasia Island. Another highlight was sailing back to Fira via Oia and seeing another view of this magnificent cliff top town. Also the drinks on the boat were not overpriced.”

The small group made for a great experience and left plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the cruise. We rented a car on Santorini, and were able to park right at Vlyhada Marina where the cruise departed from. Our cruise was rescheduled to depart an hour earlier and the company…”

Our stay was in Fira so upon arrival after visiting Oia we departed with our bags in tow to check-in to our hotel. Fare between Fira and Oia ~35€”
