Everything you should know before you book
The Santorini caldera is a flooded volcanic crater, and the dark islets of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni at its centre are the island's most dramatic geology. Boat trips land at Nea Kameni for a short hike up to the steaming craters, then anchor near Palea Kameni so you can swim in the warm, iron-rich sulphur springs.
Wear shoes you can hike and swim in — the crater path is loose volcanic rock. The hot springs are warm rather than hot, and the iron in the water can stain light swimwear, so wear something dark. Most volcano trips combine the crater, the springs and a caldera sail, and many depart from the Old Port below Fira.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Nea Kameni volcano hike hard?
It's a moderate 30–40 minute walk on loose volcanic gravel with some incline and no shade. Sturdy shoes and water make it comfortable for most fitness levels.
Are the hot springs actually hot?
They're warm rather than hot — heated geothermally and rich in iron and sulphur. Wear dark swimwear, as the minerals can stain light fabrics.
Do volcano trips include the swim and the crater?
Most combine the Nea Kameni crater hike, a swim stop at the Palea Kameni hot springs, and a caldera sail. Check the itinerary at booking.
