Santorini tours

Volcano, hot springs, Thirasia, Oia, sunset tours, red beach, caldera, sailing boat, catamaran tours, full days tours, bus tours, archaelogical tours, semi-private trips, private tours, honeymoon cruises. These are the keywords you may try to analyze when deciding on your Santorini tour and get puzzled at the end! Santorini is a small island, offering though countless options for land or boat tours. Here are some guidelines and tips that may help you demystify all that "hot" keywords:


Volcano
: Sometimes referred to as "Nea Kameni" (i.e. the bigger of the 2 volcanoes), this is an active volcano (last eruption took place at 1950 A.D.) and is located in the sea at the centre of the caldera. Many tours include the volcano in their programs, so you can walk on the old path and see the fumes coming out of the active crater.

Hot Springs: One can find many hot springs all around Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni. The most popular ones are those of Palea Kameni that contain sulfur and the temperature is constantly 35 Degrees Celcius (95 Fahrenheit). Some private trips go just across at the Hot Srpings of Nea Kameni. After the walk on the volcano, a mud bath will both relax you and gives you energy for the rest of the tour. It has been proven that minerals contained in Hot Springs can be healing for diseases such as arthritis, rheumatisms and others.

Thirasia: That's a tiny beautiful island once being connected with Santorini. Time has freezed there and all aspects of live follow the old traditional rhythms. Picturesque fishermen ports, small family tavernas, white small houses carved on the stone, narrow paved streets compose a fascinating scenery. Usually included in the 6-hour (or more) tours, Thirasia is a key point to realize the history of Santorini and experience moments of real Greek life.

Oia: One of the best preserved villages of Greece, Oia has been famous for its sunset. However, what many guides forget to say is that -probably- the best picture of the sunset is the red colors houses get when the sun slowly sinks in the waters. Oia is a classic destination for many tours: bus tours, boat excursion and private land tours. Depending on the tour, apart from seeing the sunset, you might have time to hang around in the village and make shopping.
