After your hike, the cruise continues to Palaia Kameni, a small volcanic islet known for its natural hot springs. In the bay of St. Nicholas, the water temperature ranges between 30 and 35 degrees, perfect for a relaxing swim. The boat stays here for 30 minutes, giving you the chance to swim directly from the vessel - about 30 meters - to reach the springs. There's no beach, so bring your swimsuit and towel.
This is a short, affordable, and flexible way to discover Santoriniâs most iconic natural wonders. Whether you prefer a morning or afternoon departure, with or without transfer, this tour adapts to your plans and offers great value.
