“There were 110 people on this tour and when walking to the top of the volcano we needed to be very close to the tour guide as when on the occasions that he stopped and talked only the closest 15 to 20 people could hear his speak. There is no need to spend two hours on the island of Thirassia.”

“Guided tour up Nea Kameni was great, tour guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. If you choose to swim in the hot springs, it will stain your swimsuit if its white or very light colours. It would have been nice to have more time on Thirassia, we hiked up the path to eat at the top for lunch but didn't have enough time to explore Manolas (the main settlement on the island) The bus transfers were fine but having a guide explaining sites as we drove from the port near Fira to Oia would have added finishing touches. There was also no guidance or where to find the best spots…”
Pick a mountain, a crater or a way up it.
