3.Santorini Port: Cruise to Volcano, Hot Springs & Thirassia

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 992 reviews · 6 hours · from $41

Join an English-speaking guide such as Roula or Yannis for a six-hour cruise from Fira Old Port to Nea Kameni, Palea Kameni, and Thirassia. Hike across volcanic ground, swim from the boat to warm spring water, eat on Thirassia, and enjoy caldera views with audio commentary.

“Fantastic day out on the water exploring the smaller islands of Santorini. Hike up to the active volcanic crater was very cool and I'm glad we decided to jump into the water at the thermal springs. I would recommend wearing your bathing suit (not just bringing) since you must jump straight off the boat to swim to the thermal bay and the bathrooms on board are tiny. On Thirasia the hike up the many steps was very worth it to get delicious frappes and baclava from Fyrgano up in Manolas. The tour back around the perimeter of the caldera was equally amazing with fun music, a spontaneous dance party and…”

Travel by air-conditioned private car or minivan with a local driver such as George, Theo, Melina, or Jason. Spend two hours at Lake Vouliagmeni, stop for Greek food by the coast, then explore Poseidon’s Temple at Cape Sounion. Bring towels, dry clothes, and extra money for admissions and lunch.

“My cousin and I chose this tour as a soft day following the Robbie Williams concert in Athens, and what a great choice. We were exhausted so the comfortable drive out to the Temple of Poseidon was lovely (we switched the order of stops due to weather). Our driver/guide (Melina) was very knowledgeable and really thoughtful to our needs. I'm into history and my cousin into the Gods and we both loved the slower pace, less crowds, breadth of information and the views. Did I mention the views.... Then we spent a relaxing couple of hours at Lake Vouliagmeni and oh wow was this sooooo worth it. We lazed in…”

6.Santorini Volcanic Islands Cruise: Volcano, Hot Springs and Thirassia

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 375 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $60

Cruise Santorini’s caldera by classic wooden caïque, walk across volcanic Nea Kameni, swim near Palea Kameni’s thermal waters, and visit Thirassia. A guide such as Spiros adds lively commentary, but expect a steep hike, a crowded boat, and a short swim stop.

“Agents for Viator , Santos Star were unorganized and could not find our reservation. I would suggest that you print out your confirmation as Santos has no public Wi-Fi. After looking at our information and calling someone they found that we were registered for the tour . I would not recommend this tour to the volcano and hot spring as getting to the top of the volcano was a difficult climb and while the view of Santorini surrounding islands was spectacular the volcano itself was just a rock creator. The swim at the hot spring required jumping off a boat and a swim of over 30 yards before you got…”

Ride from Athens or Piraeus to Lake Vouliagmeni with a private driver such as Giorgos, Dimitris, or Melina. Swim in 22 to 29°C mineral-rich water, let doctor fish nibble your feet, and add a taverna lunch or Cape Sounion visit.

“This was a wonderful quiet day in Athens after spending days in over crowded ports. Our driver “Johnny” was amazing. He was right on time, communicated through text throughout the day, and drove very safe. The lake was beautiful and not too crowded which was great. The only negative for me personally was the fish. I have only seen tiny fish at the spas which nibble on your skin, but these were a little larger. I could not go in the water because they just turned me off, but most of the people there enjoyed the natural fish doing this. I would go go again just for the beauty and…”
