Full-Day Santorini Volcano & Oia Sunset Tour

Start your journey by bus from the pick-up point and head over to the port of Athinios. This is where you will board the King Thiras boat. Your first stop on the boat is the volcanic island of Nea Kameni, located in the Aegean Sea, within the flooded Santorini caldera. Follow your guide up the soil path and approach the crater of the still-active volcano! Then, make your way to the second volcanic island, Palea Kameni. The King Thiras boat stops approximately 50 meters away from the hot springs. This means you can simply dive into the green sulfur waters or sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.

Later, set sail to Thirasia Island, once part of Santorini before the big volcanic explosion in 1500 BC. Only 9 sq. km in size, the island is mostly uninhabited and is untouched by tourism. Stay here for 2-3 hours and have a go at swimming, lunching next to the sea, or exploring the village of Manolas. The latter has small, picturesque houses with winding steps, surrounded by colorful blossoms.

Once you leave Thirasia Island, hop aboard King Thiras boat again and go to Athinios. From there, take the bus to the village Oia. Built on the cliffs of the caldera, Oia is world-famous for its sunsets. Admire the cascade of whitewashed buildings, peppered with windmills and blue-dome churches awash in pinks and oranges and yellows. It is truly a sight to behold. 30 minutes after the sunset, the tour ends. Gather at the pick-up point in Oia and board the bus that takes you back to the point from where you started the excursion.
