Santorini owes its spectacular shape to the volcano that blew apart Thera island more than 3,500 years ago. Today, uninhabited Nea Kameni island is the easiest place to see the volcano at work. This cost-effective boat trip gets you there in just 10 minutes, with time to walk up to the craters, smell the sulfur, see the smoke, and take your pictures, then brings you back to Fira Old Port.

Santorini Shore Excursion: Private Tour with Port Pickup Options

If we could give George...

If we could give George our tour guide for the day a 100 instead of a five-star we give it to him! When we saw my name in his hands we were thrilled! We told everybody he was ours! Not only did he show us the sites around the island but he was our personal photographer and made us all feel beautiful. We had a wonderful lunch with him on the black sand at the 41 restaurant. Lunch was delicious.

Simply 5Star

Very pleasant, from the reception, to all the staff, the exceptional food, the whole experience and the knowledge of the island's history. The boat's conditions are very good, from the living area, dining area, to the toilet. Free access to towels and snorkeling gear. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Christine_S, Oct 2026

Great Tour

Our tour of Rome was amazing! We had a fantastic tour guide who made the experience even more enjoyable. The only suggestion I would make is to provide a cooler with bottled water, especially during the tour. It would have been greatly appreciated! Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Half-Day Exclusive Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with Meal and Open Bar

It will be a ride without any regrets!!!

I was debating whether to go yachting, and I made a reservation two days before, and luckily there was a spot. We can communicate in real-time about the meeting location via text message. I think there were about 16 or 17 people on the yacht with a capacity of 18, and I liked that there was plenty of space. It was special because the yacht tour around the islands near Santorini was nice, and the two swimming opportunities were also good. Swimming in the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea~ I was very worried because I can't swim at all, but there are perfect and cute life jackets, and there are also swing nudes. The yacht condition was great, and all the yacht crew were so friendly, they even took good pictures for us! The snacks and meals they prepared were also delicious! Vasiliki Crew - Billy, Rita, Lia, hope to meet again someday~~

Santorini Wine Adventure with 12 Wine Tastings, Tapas and Sunset

Amy_F, Oct 2026

Highlight of the trip

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Great wine, great information, a truly huge amount of food to go with it - they are even thoughtful enough to supply jackets. The sunset at Santos was totally worth the hype, and we just really enjoyed it. Totally worth the price and the company was just so nice to work with when it came to making the reservation and communication. My mom and I realized we would need to leave from the last stop on the tour to the airport, as it was a longer experience than we thought (plan for 5+ hours total, including the drive) and our guide contacted the company about getting us a ride back to our hotel early! Above and beyond in every way - totally worth every penny, and a great way to experience Greek wine and food.

We had a great time! The food made was absolutely delicious. This was a great way to see many beaches and nature. Though it was a chilly day we did jump in the hot spring area and while at most we found some Luke-warm springs it was still really fun. Great day and would recommend.

Private Tailor-Made Santorini Land Tour with a Local Driver

Explorer19346722633, Oct 2026

Enjoy it to the fullest in 5 hours

I used it when I took a day trip to Santorini while staying in Athens. I don't think I could have seen all of Santorini on a private tour, so I highly recommend it for those planning a day trip to Santorini. Babis, the driver and guide, is very approachable, knows a great deal about Santorini, and we had a very satisfying day.
