Santorini Volcanic Islands Cruise

The volcanic isles of the caldera are a must-see when in Santorini. On this full-day cruise, you'll climb aboard a wooden sailboat and glide to Nea Kameni, Palea Kameni and Thirassia – the three volcanic islets that breach from the water – and continue along the edge of the caldera.First up is Nea Kameni. Hike up to its crater, striding over solidified lava fields to see its steamy fumes. Take in the views over the harsh, moon-like landscapes and Santorini in the distance. Next, you'll cruise to the thermal springs of Palea Kameni, where you'll get the chance to swim in the mineral-rich waters, which can reach temperatures of 35 °C. There's also an eminently Instagrammable Orthodox chapel by the water's edge.Head onshore to explore Thirassia and you can take a walk around its active crater, or spend some time in the hilltop village of Manolas – the views are knockout. Then, it's back on the boat to cruise along the coast, returning to Athinios port.

Santorini Small Group Photo Tour

Saying Santorini is easy-on-the-eye is an understatement – she's drop-dead gorgeous. Grab your camera and fill up your social media feed with a tour of the island's most scenic spots. And as group sizes are kept small, there'll be no jostling to get the best shots.Pick-up any picture of Greece and it's likely Santorini will be staring back at you. And for good reason, too – its skyline of whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches practically beg to be an Instagram post. You'll swing by Pyrgos first, the former capital. Snap a few selfies with sugar-cube houses, neo-classical mansions and narrow lanes twisting up to a Venetian castle which offers up knockout views. Peer through the natural rock-window known as the Heart of Santorini and grab wow-factor shots of the dinky chapel by the Aegean Sea. Finally, it's on to Oia – the place you'll see on all the postcards. Perched on a clifftop, the village serves up amazing vistas over the volcanic caldera.
