Start your day with a hotel pickup from central Santorini, and travel by air-conditioned minibus down to the port. Follow your guide onto a waiting boat, and then cruise around the island to the foot of one of Santorini's most impressive volcanoes, Nea Kameni.
Step back onto dry land, and start your leisurely paced walk up to the summit while chatting with your guide about the volcano’s 3,000-year history. Santorini was actually formed from a volcanic caldera, meaning that it was created after an explosive volcanic eruption destroyed the island’s earliest settlements. As you walk, look out for pieces of magma and fumes smoking from the crater.
Hit the crater rim and make the most of some free time to soak up the sights. Views from the peak are incredible with the black volcanic cliffs cutting a dramatic contrast against the blue waves crashing below. After ogling the volcanic vistas, follow your guide to the volcano’s hot springs for a relaxing and reviving bath. The naturally formed pools were created from volcanic activity and are said to have medicinal powers against skin and bone disease.
At the end of your soak, meet back with you guide and walk down the volcano to your boat. Ride back around the island to Santorini’s main port, and then finish your day trip with a hotel drop-off.
