Santorini: Volcanic Islands Cruise with Hot Springs Visit

1.Volcanic Islands Cruise with Hot Springs Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 10,869 reviews · 3 - 10 hours · from $29Our pick

Sail aboard a traditional wooden boat through Santorini’s caldera, hike Nea Kameni’s volcanic slopes, and swim near Palea Kameni. You’ll also stop at Thirassia for another swim. The basic cruise returns around 15:45. Add the Oia option for 2 to 3 hours in the village and sunset views, with bus transport afterward.

“This tour was a highlight of my visit - the team on the boat were friendly and the guide was passionate about the history of the islands and the volcano and he explained it very well! It is off-season so we had the crater and the thermal springs to ourselves - you do have to jump off the boat and swim over to them (this time of year the waters were lukewarm but still very nice!). The views are incredible!”

Spend seven hours sailing from Kissamos to Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon on a large, comfortable ferry.

Bring water shoes and arrive 40 minutes early.

“MOST UNBELIEVEABLE EXCURSION! The Lagoon was much bigger than expecting, accomodating a large amount of visitors as many tours come and go. The extensive shallow waters mixed with the crystal clear magnificent blue waters makes for a perfect playground for ALL ages! The 2nd stop is Pirates Beach. The hike up to the fort took us 20 minutes, down in 10 moving at a constant pace with time afterwards to snorkel to the sunken ship. Suggestion: if you want a seat on the ferry, and in the shade, get there early. Plenty of food on ferry and they rent umbrellas for 7 euros/day. This is not a guided tour, simply…”

Stopped outside Kolokitha beach with the boat for a swim in the CLEAREST, BLUEST and SALTIEST waters! Once we arrived to Spinalonga we had an English guide explaining the history of the island. The walk around the island took 15 minutes and consists of ruins and lovely views of surrounding Cretan villages.

The Paxos island where you spend 2hours it's magnifique! The stop for swiming at Antipaxos ... not so much. There are a lot of boats coming almost in the same time and it's like swiming in a basin:)) It would be great if they could manage the cruises so the boats wont meet there. After all, amazing experience!”
