Details
Discover the archipelago of Santorini thanks to our boat trip to the volcano of Santorini, Thirasia Island and Oia. Our transfer bus will take you to the port of Athinios, which will be our starting point. Once we all embarked on our traditional wooden boat, we will head to the volcano where we will have a 1.5 hour tour around the ridge. Then, we will sail to Palea Kameni and will enjoy a 30-minute swimming stop on the island. The water there is full of minerals, that makes it perfect for the skin. Back on the boat, we'll head to Thirasia Island for a 2-hour break.
The island is one of the few Greek islands which is still untouched by tourism. You will explore the traditional village and its picturesque streets. There, you will also be able to get to know the authentic Santorinian cuisine during your lunch break.
Afterwards, we will disembark in the port of Athinios to take the bus to visit the north of Santorini. Once arrived at our last stop which is the village of Oia, you will have enough free time to explore the village, walk in the narrow streets and watch the wonderful sunset!

A top-notch and well-organized trip, you spend the whole day visiting the volcano and making your final stop in Oia. Shuttle service included, with snacks on board. A must-do, a unique experience with crystal-clear waters and a dive from the boat. The guide speaks five languages.

Wonderful trip, with an Italian-speaking guide who explained all the island's hidden details. The trip was supposed to last 9 hours (as stated in the description), but we ended up leaving at 8:45 and returning at 9:45, so it was worth it. Fantastic experience.
