Why a Santorini Volcano Tour is the Ultimate First-Time Experience
Few destinations in the world owe their beauty to a natural disaster—but Santorini does. Shaped by a massive volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, the island’s unique caldera, towering cliffs, and black-sand beaches are all part of its explosive past.
Santorini Volcano Tour Highlights
Experience the raw beauty of Santorini's volcanic landscape with NST Tours and our Santorini Volcano and Hot Springs Tour. This adventure takes you to Nea Kameni, where you'll hike to the active crater, experiencing the island’s volcanic core firsthand. After exploring the volcano, unwind in the therapeutic hot springs of Santorini at Palea Kameni, renowned for their mineral-rich waters.
A Santorini volcano tour offers a powerful way to connect with the island’s true essence, blending exploration with relaxation.
Soak in the Healing Waters of Santorini’s Hot Springs
Just a short boat ride from Nea Kameni is Palea Kameni, home to the hot springs in Santorini. These sulfur-rich waters are naturally warmed by underground geothermal activity. While not steaming hot, the warm, mineral-rich pools offer a unique swimming experience in a wild, volcanic setting.
