MORE DETAILS

Volcano
Our first stop will be the active volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes sailing, we will reach Nea Kameni island (“the new burned”) where you can enjoy the tour together with our tour guide, don’t forget that the volcano is a national park, so there’s an extra fee to pay directly there, 5 euro/ per person, children pays 50%. The tour guide will explain you everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5hr and at the end you will embark again to our boat for the next stop.

Hot Springs
Our next stop will be in a private bay in the volcano where the famous hot springs are located. We will stop there for 30min at a distance of 40 meters from the shallow waters. The waters are mixed with mud, they are full of sulphur, iron and other metals coming from the volcano and they are very good for the skin, rheumatism, arthritis and other physical pains.

Thirassia Island
Thirassia is a small island at North West of the Caldera, it is famous as the small Thira, it represents the perfect example how the main island was before tourism. Only 200 inhabitants live for all the yearlong, the traditional village on the peak is called Manolas, reachable from the steps from the bay of Korfos, otherwise there’s another port at north east called Riva. The Thalassa tour stops in the bay of Korfos because it is one of the best spot where to swim, clean blue waters, no waves at all and the perfect atmosphere where to get relaxed: swimming, eating the bbq & drinking a cold local white wine.
