Full description

Explore Santorini from land and from the sea on a day trip across the island. Visit the ancient city of Akrotiri, learn about the lost city in the Lost Atlantic Museum, hike up the Santorini Volcano, and relax in nearby hot springs.

Meet your guide at the pickup point nearest you and enjoy a comfortable transfer to your first stop, the prehistoric town of Akrotiri. This ash-encased Minoan town inspired the Lost Atlantis myth. Explore the ancient city with your guide and learn about its tragic destruction.

Next, continue to the Lost Atlantis Museum, where history and myth become one. Discover every aspect of one of the world’s greatest mysteries. Archaeology, geology, and technology join forces to introduce you to the Minoan past of Santorini and the myth of Lost Atlantis.

Take the time machine to the world of Atlantis and walk along its streets with its inhabitants. Experience the great eruption, feel the earthquake and tsunami with all your senses, and see the destruction of mythical Atlantis before your eyes in a 9D experience. Next, drive to the port and board a traditional wooden boat. After a short cruise, arrive at the base of the Santorini Volcano. For the next 90 minutes, enjoy some free time around the volcano. Follow the path to the top where active craters are or relax at the base.

After returning to the boat, cruise to the island of Palea Kameni, where you can relax in the hot springs and the island's famous mud baths. After a 30 minute soak in the spring, return to the port and finish your tour.

We were picked up from nearest reachable point to our hotel in the caldera and dropped back later on time Nice transit vehicles with Mercedes’ mini vans Good knowledgeable guides all thru Climb to the volcano top was a bit difficult but can be done with occasional stops for breath I saw even seniors doing the climb slowly, just wear proper hiking or walking shoes Saw some folks returning after some time due to improper footwear, lot of gravel. There was no time for lunch, so pack something that u can eat on your return boat trip from the volcano Akrotiri was good along with9D volcano show at the lost Atlantis

This trip was so fun! There is little opportunity to buy food throughout the trip, no meals or snacks or water included. You do need to be in fair shape to swim to the hot springs and to climb to the top of the volcano. The guides, crew and drivers all were excellent. The Lost Atlantis attraction was silly, but the kids enjoyed it.
