This scenic tour is the perfect choice if you're looking for an easy way to visit Santorini's famous volcano without spending more time and money than you need to. Your boat will depart from the port of Fira, and after a sail of 10-minutes, you will reach the volcano bay.

Stop here for an hour and 15 minutes – you can either relax and take photos of the volcano from down below or follow the small path to reach the top, where you'll be able to see active craters. Take pictures of the smoking rocks and smell the fiery brimstone before returning back to the ship.

Travel to the island of Palaia Kameni afterwards, and visit the famous natural mud baths and hot springs – you'll be able to soak and swim around this natural hotspot before the tour concludes.

Santorini Volcano and Hot Springs Tour

Some say that Akrotiri is the *real* Lost City of Atlantis. True or not, this prehistoric wonder is still one of the most spectacular and significant archaeological sites in the Aegean. 

Located on the beautiful island of Santorini (Thíra), Akrotiri was a prosperous Minoan port town, having ties to mainland Greece and places as distant as Egypt and Syria. 

Much like the ruins of Pompeii, this ancient town owes its destruction, and, ironically, its amazing preservation to an island-wide volcanic eruption that blanketed everything in superheated ash.

Today, a bioclimatic roof covers the site, and walkways are suspended over the archaeological ruins, allowing visitors to move between the two and three-story structures.

Still, though, it's probably best not to anger Poseidon when you visit... just in case!

Alongside learning the Lost City's story and its connection with Santorini, you'll get to watch (and feel) the city's fall in a 9D film. After you're back to reality, take yourself out of it again by asking a virtual Plato some big questions, and by staring at Santorini island in 3D from prehistory to present.
