Three Islands Cruise
Join a captivating caldera island tour that departs from the old port in Fira, taking you on a scenic 10-minute journey to the majestic Nea Kameni volcano.
Your stay there is 1 hour and 15 minutes. To walk up to the volcano to meet the active craters is about 20 minutes through a walkable path. It is worth it to reach the top because when you arrive there, you will see steam coming out, smell the sulfur, and also take 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 30 meters to get to the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni which are believed to have beneficial abilities for the skin and other diseases. The water temperature is 86 - 95 degrees Fahrenheit but it constantly mixes with seawater. The boat remains here for about 30 minutes for swimming.
In continuation of the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirassia. You have 2 hours of free time to swim in the crystal waters of Korfos or eat in a traditional tavern with different dishes on the island. You can go on foot or by donkey to the village of Manolas, which is very picturesque with narrow streets and a nice view of Santorini and worth a visit. After the 2-hour pleasant break on the island of Thirassia, you will start to return to the old port sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia to take pictures of the unique scenery.
