“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.”

“Overall a fun trip and good value. Check in at the office was fast and easy(although my first interaction that morning with the woman behind the desk was a little grumpy) as well as getting onboard. Short ride to the volcano where you spend 5 euro to enter, the guide from your boat will then give you a little info before hiking up to the first stop. She gives a little info about the volcano, shows some pictures from the free map you get when entering as well as on her phone. Then points you to a few options to hike up to and tells you what time to return…”

Review of Santorini’s volcano, hot springs, Thirassia, and Oia sunset cruise, with practical tips on costs, crowds, transfers, and value.
“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…”
