Description
Santorini sunset tour with dinner. The tour starts from the Old Port of Fira and from Athinios Port (if you select the transfer option). We will stop for 1.5 hours in the volcano to walk the path to the craters. Our guide will be all the time with you and explain the history of the volcano, its effects in the everyday life of inhabitants in Santorini and its current state. Nowadays, as you will see, scientists have installed organs to measure the volcanic indexes, so to warn in case of violent activation.
Then, we will sail to the hot springs. Formations of lava and rocks are constantly changing and in a while, we can see the older rocks of the nearby island, Palea Kameni. This island proves that the volcano is still active! Sulfur comes out of the sea-bottom and the waters become very warm (temperature reaches 104F / 40oC!). We make a 40-minute stop for swimming.
Later on, our captain will dock the ship at Thirassia island, the second largest of the complex of islands forming the caldera, where you will have a chance to swim for second time at the crystal blue waters.and you can enjoy your dinner there. While you will be swimming, the crew will prepare for you a tasty traditional BBQ buffet dinner, so that you can enjoy the local specialties along with the famous local white wine.
After the dinner, we depart towards the northern point of Santorini and the village of Oia. Aboard our sailing vessel, we will have a nice point for enjoying the sunset and at the same time taking pictures of the traditional settlement of Oia and the little fishermen ports, Ammoudi and Armeni.
With the last daylight, we return back, so to admire the night in the Caldera. Oia, Imerovigli and Firostefani at the end reflect their lights in the sea…
