About the port as a meeting point for the boat tours: Santorini has 2 main ports, Athinios and
the Old Port. Athinios is accessible by vehicles and, if you join a trip with transfer, this will
probably be the port you will depart from. Old Port is the old traditional port of Santorini and
is located just at the bottom of Fira hill. It is only accessible by steps or cable car. Going
down on foot takes approx. 20 minutes; you can also ride a donkey (€5 per person) or take
the cable car (€4 per person). The Fira cable car station is located 500 meters from the
central square of Fira. Be Aware of possible long queues to the cable car station. Also some
private or semi-private cruises start from Vlihada Marina, which is located on the south part
of Santorini. Accessible only by car or taxi, it takes 15 minutes to get there from Fira.

In mysantorini.com you will find some boat tours starting from Oia. There are two ports,
Ammoudi and Armeni. Armeni is only accessible by steps, so you will need to reach the
village on foot or by taking a donkey ride. Ammoudi can be reached both by car and steps.
Many trips end at those ports and less start from there.

Also remind to bring with you or wear comfortable shoes and, if your trip includes hiking on
the volcano, sneakers will always be a good choice. A bottle of water and a hat will be your
good friends, especially during the summer months. If you are to join a sunset tour, bring a
jacket or sweater; sometimes during the sunset time, the weather gets chilly. Finally it’s good
to have memory on your camera or batteries because the scene is majestic and you will
definitely take many pictures..!

Let’s see some more tips regarding the Volcano: It takes approximately 20-30 minutes to
reach the main crater. In many points of the path, you will observe fumes coming out of the
surface. This is an active volcano and the last eruption took place in 1950 AD. It actually
consists of 2 islands, the bigger called Nea Kameni and the smaller Palea Kameni. You will

be hiking on Nea Kameni. Entrance in the volcano is not included in almost all the trips and
costs €2 per person. There are 2 Hot Springs, one in Nea Kameni island and one in Palea
Kameni island. If your boat stops in the Hot Springs of Palea Kameni, you will need to swim
first in the cold, deep waters to reach the hot springs. Otherwise, most of the trips that stop
in the Hot Springs of Nea Kameni, usually take you inside the actual hot springs, so you
swim directly in the hot water.

Thirassia is a small island, once connected with Santorini. You can stay in Korfos, which is a
picturesque fishermen port and enjoy your lunch in the tavernas or swim in the tiny beach.
Alternatively, you can follow the steps to go on foot or by donkeys to the village Manolas;
there you will explore the nice traditional settlement. You can even use your own vehicle (car
or motorbike) to explore the island; to do this; you should join the Caldera round trip by ferry
boat.

Joining a private land or boat tour means that the itinerary can be adjusted to your needs;
however, you’d better make a preliminary research regarding the spots you wish to visit, so
that you will be prepared. We offer a large variety of vehicles or private boats, catamarans,
speed boats and more for your private excursions within or outside Santorini. You can ask
us to suggest you the best private program according to your needs. We guarantee that you
will definitely enjoy all of our tours!
