Next, sail to the hot springs at Palea Kameni. The boat anchors 30-50 meters from the springs, requiring a swim to reach the warm, sulfur-rich waters. This activity is recommended for strong swimmers.

Please note, this activity is best suited for comfortable swimmers, as the swim requires confidence and stamina. For those who venture into the waters, it’s a moment of pure relaxation and connection with Santorini’s unique volcanic energy. Afterward, return to the boat, refreshed and recharged, to continue your unforgettable journey.

The final stop of your journey is the picturesque island of Thirassia, a quiet gem in the caldera untouched by time. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore traditional Greek villages, stroll through charming narrow streets, and admire breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea.
