Description
Sail from Fira on a cruise to the active volcano of Nea Kameni. Swim in the hot springs of Palaia Kameni, sail around the caldera, and enjoy a glass of local wine as you watch the sunset.
Begin your adventure with a departure from the Old Port of Fira.
Your first stop is the active volcano of Nea Kameni. Spend about 1 hour and 15 minutes here, hiking to see the inactive craters and the active one at the top, with stunning views of Santorini's caldera.
Next, continue 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. Swim a distance of about 30 meters to get to the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni, where the water temperature is 20-25°C.
After dedicating about 30 minutes for this volcanic swim, start sailing around the caldera. Take magnificent pictures of the landscape and the houses that hang on the edge of the cliff. Enjoy the beautiful colors of the sunset on a wooden boat with sails, while sipping a glass of local wine.
After the sunset, the boat returns to the Old Port of Fira.
