The excursion begins either from the main port of Santorini, Athinios or from the picturesque Old port of Santorini. The Old Port is only accessible by cable car, which is the most common way as it takes only 3 minutes to go down, otherwise, you have to descend 587 steps on foot. Important note: You need to pay an additional fee of 10 € per trip for the cable car ride.
Gialos, the Old Port, lies below Fira , nestled at the foot of a rocky cliff. The steep slopes of the Caldera will leave you amazed as you catch a glimpse of the tiny port nestled beneath towering rocks and seemingly suspended cave houses. Upon arrival, your excursion guides will be waiting to provide you with important information and lead you to the boat. For any additional information or clarifications, please do not hesitate to visit our travel agency, Santo Star Travel, located at the port.
Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini ! After sailing for 20 minutes, we will reach Nea Kammeni’s jetty. Should you be interested to be guided to the volcano, you have to pay 5 € per person as an entrance fee. Afterward, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide who is going to explain everything there is, about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5 hours and, after that, you will embark again for the next stop.
Our next stop will be the island of Palaia Kammeni, 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 meters from the shallow waters of Agios Nicholaos Beach where you will have to swim that distance (30m) to reach the springs. Take a dive off the boat and feel the warmth of these extraordinary waters. The waters are also full of sulfur, iron, and other metals coming from the volcano and they are very good for the skin, rheumatism, arthritis, and other physical aches. Important Note: In order to reach Agios Nikolaos Beach, it is essential to know how to swim extremely well.
Sailing above the underwater craters from Palaia Kammeni to Therasia Island, the boat will anchor close to the island in order to allow you to enjoy your dinner. Our experienced staff will prepare everything for you so all you need to do is relax and enjoy our Greek delicious buffet while capturing amazing photos of the Aegean Sea .
The end of the excursion comes at sunset time. Aphrodite sets sail and the sun dives into the sea in the northernmost part of the island. Our boat will stop below 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 colors. Your trip with Aphrodite in this sanctuary of romance is going to be in your memories and your hearts forever!

Journée parfaite avec un guide (Tito) super et plein d'énergie. Je recommande les yeux fermés.
Fun tour, but could have used a little more time at the hot springs. The food was cold and average. We expected a better view of Oia from the boat. The sunset was over the water, not the city, which is high up on a cliff. The guides were fun and helpful. The wooden boat was beautiful, but we didn't really "sail". The sails were unfurled a short time only for show!
Highly recommend this experience!! Everything right up to the sunset disappearing into the waters was breathtaking. Everyone is so nice. Food was incredible. The surprise dance party at the end was also amazing!!!
The guides and staff were very friendly. The volcano tour was interesting. The hot springs swim was fun. The food was wonderful! The sunset was gorgeous! And the dancing on our way back to port was the perfect way to end the experience. I would definitely recommend this tour!!, A great experience!
