Santorini Volcanic Islands Cruise
The volcanic isles of the caldera are a must-see when in Santorini. On this full-day cruise, you'll climb aboard a wooden sailboat and glide to Nea Kameni, Palea Kameni and Thirassia – the three volcanic islets that breach from the water – and continue along the edge of the caldera.First up is Nea Kameni. Hike up to its crater, striding over solidified lava fields to see its steamy fumes. Take in the views over the harsh, moon-like landscapes and Santorini in the distance. Next, you'll cruise to the thermal springs of Palea Kameni, where you'll get the chance to swim in the mineral-rich waters, which can reach temperatures of 35 °C. There's also an eminently Instagrammable Orthodox chapel by the water's edge.Head onshore to explore Thirassia and you can take a walk around its active crater, or spend some time in the hilltop village of Manolas – the views are knockout. Then, it's back on the boat to cruise along the coast, returning to Athinios port.

Sunsets and Santorini go together like the Eiffel Tower and Paris. Come dusk, the skies over the island fill with swirls of red, gold and mauve, lighting up the caldera like nothing you've ever seen before. And this trip gives you front row seats for Mother Nature's display.

The inside story
Lunar landscapes, black volcanic sands and red cliffs make Santorini a natural gem that draws visitors to the charming island of Santorini year after year. Multiple eruptions over the years have transformed Santorini into a five-island archipelago; consisting of Santorini, Therasia and Aspronisi and the Kameni islands at the centre made of entirely black lava. This volcanic zone is the most dynamic in the South Aegean and visitors have the chance to visit the active volcanoes on the islands of Therasia and Nea Kameni – known to locals as the Volcano.
The eruption was also responsible for one of the greatest calderas in the world – the edge of a volcanic crater – now lined by traditional blue-roofed houses that mesmerise all who visit. From the caldera, stunning views across the turquoise waters and neighbouring islands can be seen and you’ll get a glimpse of the island’s geographical history. Visit the active volcanoes of Therasia and Nea Kameni and walk over its active craters, solidified lava fields and steamy fumes. Its harsh moon-like landscapes will have you feeling out of this world.
