The operator cancels for unsafe conditions; full refunds are typically available if you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand or if the operator cancels due to weather.
Santorini’s caldera is the result of repeated volcanic eruptions, including a massive Bronze Age event (Thera) that reshaped regional history and left layered pumice and lava formations.
The caldera and islets are ecologically sensitive—avoid applying oily sunscreens before entering springs, pack out trash, and stick to marked paths to reduce erosion.
