The experience

Paddle and sail around an active volcanic island

Leave Fira and sail the Aegean Sea on an odyssey of relaxation around Santorini's volcanic archipelago.

The mighty Nea Kameni, a mythical-looking volcanic island of jagged lava rock and sulfur plumes, awaits your awestruck eyes! You'll hike for 20 minutes to see the active craters and watch hot steam rising from the ground.

Then, it's on to the hot springs of Palaia Kameni island for a paddle in an active volcano. The famous hot springs of Palaia Kameni are said to be great for the skin. Get into that sulfur-rich, volcano-heated water, and see how *you* feel.

The final stop is at the island of Thirassia, where you'll have two hours to explore. Swim in the crystalline waters, eat delicious Greek cuisine in traditional tavernas, or take a donkey ride in the village of Manolas. You decide.

From there, the boat returns to the old port, sailing close to the cliffs of Oia for some awesome photos, before mooring back at Fira.
