The most popular and romantic tours in Santorini are definitely the Sunset tours. Sunsets in Santorini are spectacular and watching the sunset is probably one of the most popular activities on the island.  You can get a good view from a number of places on the island but having a tour during sunset is an amazing experience.
Most tours start after 15:00 and there are many different type of vessels that can organize these tours.

Your first choice is a traditional wooden boat (the bigger in Santorini) where you can have dinner as well.  The name of the boat is Afrodite and the tour starts from both ports of Santorini (old port Fira and Athinios port).  The boat travels towards the volcano and sails very close to the little bays. Formations of lava and rocks are constantly changing and in a while we can see the older rocks of the nearby island, Palea Kameni. You will also have a 45 – minutes stop for swimming at the volcano’s hot springs. Later on, the captain of Afrodite will choose the most quiet bay of the Caldera to enjoy your dinner. Varieties of meat, refreshing salads and pasta, local cheese and fruits are our chef’s suggestions. With the sails open, we sail to Oia and the sunset is now in front of you and you will enjoy it with a glass of Santorinian wine. This tour costs 45 Euros per person.

Another option for sunset tour in Santorini is to join a Catamaran semi private or private sunset tour. This tour starts from the port of Ammoudi in Oia, we are heading towards the private bay of Thirassia island for the first stop of swimming and snorkelling. Diving equipment is provided to all the guests of the catamaran. Next the Catamaran sails past the Volcano to admire the small bays and the rock formations. At the Hot Springs of Palea Kameni, you will stop for one a healing swimming at the sulphurous waters. Moving towards the coasts of Oia, the chef prepares dinner on board with recipes from the local cuisine, options for vegetarians and tailor made menus to your own special requirements. You will be served also on board Greek salad, shrimps, mussels, souvlaki pork or chicken. Local white wine, ouzo, soft drinks and coffees are also included in the price.  The engines are now switched-off to experience the world-famous sunset while enjoying an excellent dinner. This tour costs on semi private basis 130 Euros per person.

At mysantorini.com you can find both tours out for bookings and enjoy your summer holidays in Santorini with an excellent and remarkable tour to the caldera of Santorini during the Sunset hours. Returning to the port you see the lights of Thira or Oia glowing as the evening darkens, the perfect ending to a wonderful day in Santorini…

All Santorini tours are listed here.

Volcano, Hot Springs and Thirassia (aka Caldera round trip): There are several different boats that offer various trips out of Fira’s old harbor in order to visit the volcano, swim at the Hot Springs and Thirassia (you can choose between traditional wooden boats and a small ferry). This is a very popular tour for those that can spend 6 hours to visit these small volcanic islands or you can take the 3 hour tour for just the Volcano and the Hot Springs. The volcano island has a great lava rock coastline and a clear path to the rim. There are small rocks, and it’s a healthy grade so it is highly suggested wearing sneakers or close-type shoes, a hat and sunglasses. Also have in mind that you will be charged a euro to hike to the top at the port of the Volcano island. There are little wisps of steam escaping at the summit, and the view is really spectacular. Next you will stop to swim for about 50 minutes in the warm springs of Palea Kameni. The wooden boats stop just outside the springs and you will need to jump off the boat otherwise the ferry can dock and you will get off normally. Another major proof of the strong volcanic activity still today, Hot Springs have beneficial effects against rheumatisms, arthritis and other diseases. Next you will visit the island of Thirassia. You dock in the small port with several seafood restaurants for lunch. There is a larger village up top but there are some steps to reach it. Instead you can have lunch and then relax near the water. You can choose to end your tour in Fira or Oia. In Oia you will need to take the steps to the top of the village and come back to Fira with local bus transportation or taxi.

If you choose the Nissos Thirassia ferry boat for your tour have in mind that you can board your car or moto with you for free. This will be very useful for the island of Thirassia in order to visit the villages on the top of the hill. On the other hand you won’t be able to finish the tour in Oia with your vehicle on.

Book the caldera round trip from mysantorini.com for 18 Euros per person with the ferry and 25 Euros per person for the traditional wooden boats.
