We did a lot of research before we bought the Santorini Volcano and hot spring tour ticket but we could not find any information. Before you actually decide to buy a Santorini Volcano and Hot Spring day tour ticket, we have to tell you there are actually a lot of hidden cost that no one mentioned in the internet. To... More

When you look at the Volcano from the cable car going down to the old port, it's nothing special it is a small island with rough edges and very dark! Then you take the trip with a tour guide that gives you the routine story and you walk up (you have to be in good shape) and pay 2euros. We... More

We took a day-trip from Heraklion to Santorini and found it both over-rated and over-priced. We were also dissappointed by the people, having been used to the courteous and friendly Cretans, the disappointment started the moment we left the boat. The bus driver was rude, and although there was an empty seat next to him (usually used by tour guides)... More

We spent a wonderful day taking a boat (the very nice wooden schooner adds to the adventure!) from Oia to Fira (to pick up more passengers), then out to the active volcano, where we were able to hike to the top and watch the steam coming out of the rock while taking in the spectacular 360 degree view. A guide... More

If you plan to visit Santorini consider also this option: Take the ferry (i.e. from Pireus) which arrives in Santorini very early in the morning. The experience is breathtaking; the ferry crossing the morning mist, between the dramatic cliffs of Santorini and the smaller Volcano-islands. If you enjoy busy party-islands, visit Santorini in the summer. It is very lively and... More

We went on the Thomson Majesty cruise a pearl of the Aegean in September and meant to post a review . First of all really enjoyed the cruise and visited some lovely places including Athens, Olympia, Ephesus and of course Santorini which is beautiful. Try the donkey ride they look as if they're sad but are well looked after as... More

Nice experience, but requires a lot of physical effort, especially when it is hot! If you'll decide to go, don’t forget comfy shoes and lots of water, hat and anti-sun cosmetics! As for views - been on volcanic Island before and this volcano is not as picturesque as i.e. Lanzarote or La Palma volcanos, but I liked it.

most of the volcano trips are all day and are a waste of time. There is not much to say about this except it is pointless unless you have never been on a boat before or you like extreme bordem.

The german and english speaking guide was very good, he knew a lot about volcanos and transmitted his enthusiasm. The walk from the boat to the top of the volcano was a great way to exercise and I enjoy it, but it may not fit everyone. You need to take water with you and you can purchase a cheap bottle... More
