Description
Depart from Athinios Port and embark on a memorable cruise through Santorini’s world-famous Caldera, surrounded by dramatic volcanic cliffs and breathtaking island scenery.
Your first stop is Nea Kameni, where you will have the opportunity to disembark for an optional self-guided visit to the volcano (entrance fee not included). Guests may explore the area at their own pace and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding islands.
Continue to Palea Kameni, where the boat anchors near the island's famous Springs. Enjoy approximately 30 minutes to swim in the naturally sulfur-rich waters, which are known for their unique volcanic minerals.
End your cruise with Santorini's most iconic spectacle—the legendary sunset. As you sail through the majestic Caldera, watch the sun gently disappear into the Aegean Sea, casting a golden glow over the volcanic cliffs and whitewashed villages. This unforgettable moment, viewed from the water, offers a unique perspective on one of the world's most celebrated sunsets before your return to Athinios Port.

Important Information
- The volcano stop is an optional self-guided visit and not a guided hiking tour. Its duration may vary depending on weather conditions, sea conditions, and Port Authority regulations
- The Springs are located in the sea around Palea Kameni. The water is naturally warmer than the surrounding sea but is not a heated or man-made thermal pool. Swimming is optional and takes place in open water, as the boat does not dock directly at the springs. Dark-colored swimwear is recommended, as the sulfur-rich waters may stain light-colored fabrics
- Comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat, and drinking water are recommended
- The total duration of the cruise varies throughout the season according to the daily sunset time and may last from 3 up to 6 hours. The itinerary may also be modified due to weather conditions, sea conditions, or Port Authority regulations to ensure the safety of all guests
- Capacity: Up to 150 guests, with seating for everyone
