From Fira: Santorini Volcano, Hot Springs & Thirassia Day Cruise

About this experience

Santorini Volcano, Hot Springs and Thirassia Day Cruise This full-day cruise takes guests through Santorini's dramatic caldera to visit three unique destinations. Your expert English-speaking guide leads you up the active volcano on Nea Kameni, into the natural hot springs, and through the traditional island of Thirassia. The cruise departs from Athinios Port, and the operator provides optional shared transfers from central Fira locations for guests who select that addition. As the vessel sails past the famous cliffs, your guide shares insights into Santorini's volcanic history and geology. The boat anchors at each stop, giving you time to explore the volcanic crater, experience the therapeutic mineral waters, and wander through authentic Greek villages on Thirassia. What is Included Expert English-speaking guide Shared roundtrip transfers from select Santorini locations (if selected) Air-conditioned transport All taxes, fees and handling charges Local VAT and service charges Good to Know The tour begins with pickup from your hotel or a central meeting point in Fira, then travels to Athinios Port for departure. Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, hat, towel and comfortable walking shoes for the volcanic terrain. Swimming in the hot springs requires confident swimming ability, as guests will need to swim approximately 30 metres from the boat to shore. There is a small entrance fee of around €2.50 per person to access the volcano, payable on site. Meals are not included, but guests have free time on Thirassia to buy food at local taverns. If you are looking for more ways to explore Santorini's natural beauty, consider a sunset sailing cruise to see the famous Oia sunset from the water. For those interested in the island's wine culture, a wine tasting tour visits local vineyards and includes a guided tasting of wines shaped by the island's distinctive volcanic terroir. Alcohol is not sold through this listing. Any tasting is served on site by the operator to guests of legal drinking age. Vehicles are not sold through this listing. Any vehicle used during the experience is supplied by the operator and returned at the end.
