Description
Embark on an unforgettable adventure to the enchanting islands of caldera with a budget-friendly tour, aboard a traditional boat departing from the old port of Fira. Within just 10 minutes of setting sail, you will arrive at the magnificent Volcano. Awe-inspiring views and active craters await you on a 20-minute walkable path to the top. Scratch the surface and experience the steaming hot sulfur, while capturing breathtaking photos of the scenery.
Next stop is the island of Palaia Kameni, where the boat anchors just meters away from the small bay of Agios Nikolaos. Climb down the ladder and swim a short distance of about 30 meters to reach the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni. The warm waters, which are believed to have healing benefits for skin and other ailments, maintain a constant temperature of 30-35 degrees while mixing with seawater. The boat remains here for about 30 minutes, providing ample time to swim and relax in this unique setting.
Onward to the charming island of Thirassia, where you will have 2 full hours of free time to explore, swim in crystal clear waters of Korfos, or indulge in traditional island cuisine at local taverns. Walk or ride by donkey to the village of Manolas, a picturesque location with narrow streets and an exquisite view of Santorini.
After the 2-hour break on Thirassia, the boat sets sail back to the old port of Fira, passing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia, offering an excellent opportunity to take more photos of the breathtaking scenery. Disembark at the charming and picturesque old port of Fira, having experienced a truly unforgettable adventure.

FAQs
Rarely, bad weather may also mean that, for your safety, a different itinerary is used. Here, no refund is possible. The tour organizer will always offer an equivelant itinerary taking the same amount of time and visiting equally impressive places (just those not so prone to bad weather) and offering an equally enjoyable experience that you are sure to treasure.
