Description
Santorini caldera tour
The tour starts from the Old Port of Fira and from Athinios Port (if you select the transfer option).
At first, our boat stops on the little dock of the famous Volcano, where we will walk towards the top of the island. While walking, our experienced guide talks about the intense volcanic activity of the last 3000 years! The crater still seems active, as hot fumes are released in many points!
Next, we are heading to the Hot Springs, where we will make a 30-minute stop for swimming in the sulfur springs of the volcano. Another major proof of the strong volcanic activity still today, Hot Springs have beneficial effects against rheumatisms, arthritis and other diseases.
The island of Thirasia is our final destination, where we will stay 2 hours for swimming and lunch. Thirasia is a small, very picturesque island, an ideal choice for nice walks, swimming and lunch in the little port of Korfos or in the traditional village Manolas.
The red stones of lava along with caves, numerous churches and multi-colored houses are the ultimate challenge for every single photographer…
While sailing to the old port of Fira, you will have a great way back, as the boat sails very close to the coast of the Caldera!
If you selected the transfer option, the boat will also stop at Athinios Port, so that our coach will take you back to your village.
