The first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes sailing, we will reach Nea Kameni’s jetty. Should you be interested to be guided at the volcano, you should pay €5 per person as an entrance fee. Then, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and he is going to explain to you everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5 hours and in the end you will embark again to our boat for the next stop.

The next stop will be the island of Palea Kameni where the famous hot springs are located on the west side. A place that is really popular for its thermal waters. We will stop there for 30 minutes at a distance of 30 metres from the shallow waters of Agios Nicholaos’ beach. The waters are mixed with mud that is full of sulfur, iron and other metals coming from the volcano and they are very good for the skin, rheumatism, arthritis and other physical pains. Important Note: In order to reach Agios Nicholaos’ beach it is essential to know how to swim well.

Sailing above the underwater craters from Palea Kameni to Thirasia Island, the boat will anchor close to the island in order to enjoy your dinner. Our experienced staff will prepare everything for you so as to relax and enjoy our Greek tasteful buffet while capturing amazing photos of the Aegean sea. Pork rolls, chicken rolls, rice, baked potatoes, Greek & green salads, tzatziki sauce (cucumber, yogurt, garlic), bread, seasonal fruit, free local wine during buffet!

The end of the excursion comes on sunset time. Aphrodite sets sail and the sun dives into the sea in the northernmost part of the island. Our boat will stop very close to Oia village where you will have the chance to watch the warm light of the setting sun under the violet sky before the night falls. This is the most unforgettable experience as the Caldera and the village of Oia turn into gold colour. Your trip with Aphrodite in this sanctuary of romance is going to be in your memories and your hearts forever!
