Start your adventure with a short, 10-minute boat ride from the old port of Fira at 11:00 AM to the port of Erinia, located at the active volcano. The boat will stay here for 1 hour and 15 minutes, giving you the chance to walk up to the top of the volcano and explore the craters. You will be able to take photos of the smoking rocks and experience the sulfur-rich air up close.
This excursion offers a great opportunity to see Santorini's volcanic wonders without requiring much time or a large budget.
After visiting the volcano, the boat heads to Palaia Kameni island, home to the famous hot springs. The warm thermal waters, ranging from 30 to 35C, offer a unique and relaxing swim in the small bay of St. Nicholas. The boat stays for about 30 minutes, giving you ample time to enjoy the healing properties of the waters. Afterward, the boat returns to the port at 14:00, completing your half-day exploration of Santorini's natural wonders.
