“Great day out to see volcano, springs and Thirassia. Potentially didn’t need so long on Thirassia island (we were there for 2 hours). The swim was great, agree with others that the swim to the springs was probably nicer than the springs themselves!”
Private Athens day trip to Lake Vouliagmeni’s thermal waters and Cape Sounion’s Temple of Poseidon, with a culinary gift and easy pacing.
“Amazing! Our driver was even kind enough to allow us some extra time at the temple of poseidon so we could go into the gift shop (they were late opening the day we went), and the little restaurant he took us to on our way back was absolutely amazing!”
Sail Santorini’s caldera to an active volcano and Palea Kamen hot springs, with an optional crater hike and photo-friendly stops from Fira.
“The hike was amazing, definitely unique experience. Our guide was great, she made few stops to the top where she told us some important and interesting informations, and then one stop when we arrived at the top, where she told us more stories about the island. Would recommend to anyone looking for something different, adventure…”

3-hour Santorini boat trip to Nea Kameni craters and Palea Kameni hot springs, with stunning Caldera views from Old Port of Fira.
“J'ai passé un bon moment mais le prix ne le vaut pas selon moi... En effet, 30€ qui revient au final à 55€/personne. Je m'explique. Le tarif sur le site marchand est de 30€ mais ce qu'on ne nous dit pas c'est que pour descendre au vieux port, il faut prendre un téléphérique qui coute…”

Short Santorini boat trip to the active volcano and Nea Kameni hot springs, with transfers, a guide, and time to swim in warm water.
“Tour did not start promptly. Very big crowd waiting to get on boat. Very disorganized at the port. Did not get seats on boat. Tour was overbooked. Good itinerary but very hectic. Be prepared to struggle for a seat on the boat if you book this tour. Overall, I enjoyed the Caldera view and hot…”

“From the pick up from the hotel in a private taxi with a lovely driver to the hamam massage which we did not know what to expect the whole experience was brilliant. Then lunch in a local taverna knowing the taxi back to the hotel was ready when we were, not rushed at all. The…”
Thera volcano cruise with an optional Nea Kameni hike, hot springs swim at Palea Kameni, and Thirasia-area views plus transfers and commentary.
“Il serait bien d’avoir une meilleure description de la journée sur ce site car je n’avais aucune idée que l’on aurait 2h pour diner dans un resto sur l’ile de Thirassa. De plus, c’est vraiment compliqué retrouver son bus au retour, aucune indication sur ceux-ci. Très peu de temps aussi au sommet du volcan puisque…”
