Day 5 Santorini - The Island of Lava - Wooden boat Regular Sunset Cruise (6 hours)
The excursion starts from the new port of Santorini (Athinios).
Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes sailing, we will reach Nea Kameni’s jetty. For those who are interested they can actually walk and be guided at the Volcano. Walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and learn everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5hr and then board back to the ship.
Our next stop will be the island of Palea Kameni where the famous hot springs are located on the west side. A place that is really popular for its thermal waters. We will stop there for 30min at a distance of 30 meters from the shallow waters of Agios Nicholaos’ beach. The waters are mixed with mud that they are full of sulfur, iron and other metals coming from the volcano and they are very good for the skin, rheumatism, arthritis and other physical pains.
Sailing above the underwater craters from Palia Kameni to Thirasia Island, the boat will anchor close to the island in order to enjoy your dinner.
The end of the excursion comes on sunset time. Aphrodite sets sails and the sun dives to the sea in the northernmost part of the island. Our boat will stop very close to Oia village where you will have the chance to watch the warm light of the setting sun under the violet sky before the night falls. This is the most unforgettable experience as the Caldera and the village of Oia will turn into gold color.
This sailing experience ends at Athinios port where after disembarkation you will be transferred to your hotel’s meeting point.
