Santorini’s volcanic history is as mesmerizing as its stunning landscapes, and there’s no better way to connect with the island’s fiery past than by joining our Volcano Tour. At Angel Sailing, we guide you on a fascinating excursion to Santorini’s caldera, where you’ll explore rugged volcanic islands, hike up a dormant volcano, and experience the natural hot springs of the Aegean. Here’s everything you can expect on this thrilling tour.
The Adventure Begins: Setting Sail to the Caldera
The journey starts with a scenic sail across the caldera, offering panoramic views of Santorini’s unique landscapes, including the island’s white-washed towns perched high on cliffs and surrounded by deep blue waters. The anticipation builds as we approach Nea Kameni, an uninhabited volcanic island that serves as the focal point of the caldera. Formed by powerful eruptions, this island is an impressive reminder of Santorini’s dynamic geological activity.
Hiking the Volcano: Witness the Power of Nature
Once we arrive at Nea Kameni, it’s time for an invigorating hike to the volcano’s crater. As you walk along rugged paths surrounded by dark volcanic rock, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped onto another planet. Our knowledgeable guides share fascinating insights about the island’s eruptions and how they shaped Santorini as it exists today. At the summit, you’ll peer down into the crater, where steam sometimes rises, providing a close encounter with the Earth’s geothermal power. The panoramic views of the caldera and nearby islands from the top make the hike well worth the effort.
Refreshing in the Hot Springs of Palea Kameni
After hiking the volcano, we set sail to Palea Kameni, home to natural hot springs warmed by the island’s volcanic activity. Here, you can immerse yourself in mineral-rich waters known for their therapeutic properties. As you soak in the warm, amber-colored springs, surrounded by striking rock formations, you’ll feel the tension of everyday life melt away. Swimming here is a truly unique experience that combines relaxation with a sense of adventure.
Exploring the Caldera’s Hidden Beauty
Beyond the main stops at Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni, our Volcano Tour takes you around the caldera’s striking coastline, offering views of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and pristine beaches accessible only by boat. This part of the journey allows you to fully appreciate the island’s beauty from the sea, giving you perspectives that aren’t visible from land.
