Onboard at Athinios, the cliff-face towns of Santorini recede like sugar-cube sketches as the boat eases into the caldera. Salt air lifts; the caldera walls tower to your right, black and rust-streaked from past eruptions, while the open Aegean opens to the left. Within 20–30 minutes you’ll see Nea Kameni’s black cones grow larger—steam and sulfur-scented plumes remind you the island is still breathing.

4 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; requires short uneven walks and steps.
The tour lasts about four hours with stops to walk Nea Kameni’s crater, swim near Palea Kameni’s hot springs, and free time on Thirasia for lunch or wandering.
Most people can swim but check with staff if you have open wounds, sensitive skin, or medical conditions—the springs are mineral-rich and warm.
Pick up and drop off are available from selected meeting points or arranged hotel pickup; confirm details with the operator at least 24 hours before departure.
