After a trip of 10 minutes we reach the small port of Nea Kameni, where the active volcano is. We stay here for 1 hour and 15 minutes where you can walk up and visit this wild landscape with the different volcanic rocks and the active craters, where there is still smoke coming out and keenly smells sulfur.
Then the boat departs for the island of Palaia Kameni, where the hot springs are. Inside the small bay of St Nikolaos the water temperature is 30-35 degrees but it constantly mixes with seawater. The boat stays 30 minutes and you can climb down a ladder of the boat into the sea and swim a distance of about 30 meters to the interior of the small bay, to the mud baths.
Then we will start a sail around the caldera where you can take pictures of the landscape and the houses that literally hang on the edge of the cliff, in combination with the colors of the sunset. On a wooden boat with sails, listening to nice music and enjoying a glass of local wine.
The cruise starts at the old port of fira at 15.30pm. Please be at the port at least 30 minutes before departure.
