  • After a short 10-minute beat the boat arrives at the port of Erinia, in the small bay of the active volcano.
  • We anchor here for 1 hour and 15 minutes to give you time to follow the trail up to the top of the hill (or take the cable car) where there are active craters, smoking rocks and the air smells strongly of brimstone
  • Back on board we make for the island of Palaia Kameni to see the hot volcanic springs and famous natural mud baths, which have been created after the volcanic eruptions.
  • In the small bay of St. Nickolas, the water temperature varies from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius, as it constantly mixes with the normal seawater.
  • We moor here for around half-an-hour for swimming. NB there is no beach, but you can enter the water via stairs and swim about 30 meters into the small bay with hot springs
