Departure Information

Your adventure begins at the port of Santorini. Here, our friendly guides will welcome you aboard and provide all the necessary details for your trip. Get ready to sail across the Aegean Sea and take in the magnificent landscape as you cruise toward your first destination.

Volcano Exploration: Nea Kameni

Our first stop is Nea Kameni, an active volcano located just 20 minutes from the port. Upon arrival at the jetty, you can join a guided tour of the volcano for a small fee of €5 per person. As you hike to the crater’s edge, your guide will share fascinating insights about the volcano’s history and geology. You’ll have 1.5 hours to explore the island, enjoy the views, and take photos of the dramatic landscape before we sail on to the next destination.

Hot Springs at Palea Kameni

Next, we head to Palea Kameni, famous for its therapeutic hot springs. The warm waters are rich in sulfur, iron, and minerals from the volcano. These waters offer natural healing benefits, especially for skin conditions and arthritis. We’ll anchor at Agios Nikolaos Beach for 30 minutes, allowing you to swim in waters ranging from 30 to 35°C. The shallow, mineral-rich waters are perfect for a refreshing and rejuvenating dip.

Important Note: Reaching Agios Nikolaos Beach requires good swimming skills, as it’s located about 30 meters from the boat.

Explore Thirasia Island

After the hot springs, we set sail for Thirasia Island. Located above the underwater craters, Thirasia offers stunning panoramic views. The boat will anchor close to the island, where you can relax and swim in its calm waters. We’ll spend 30 minutes here, giving you time to soak in the peaceful atmosphere of this quiet, traditional island.

Sailing Into the Sunset

The grand finale of your day is the iconic Santorini sunset. As the sun begins to set in the northern part of the island, we’ll position our boat near Oia. From here, you’ll experience the sky turning shades of violet and gold. Watch as the sun dips into the sea, casting a warm glow over the caldera and the village of Oia. This moment is the ultimate Santorini experience. To make it even more special, we’ll provide complimentary wine and a delicious dinner. Relax, savor your meal, and enjoy the beauty of the sunset in comfort.
