Description
Each stop of this cruise offers ample leisure time to soak in the stunning vistas of the Aegean . Swim in hot springs, admire views from an active volcano and explore the typical village of Thirassia
The first port of call is Nea Kameni, the site of an active volcano. Here, you can choose to hike up to the crater. This hike is unguided, so please proceed with caution and be mindful of your safety. Following this, your journey continues to Palea Kameni, famous for its therapeutic hot springs. A dip here is highly recommended, though a word of caution: the sulfur-rich waters might discolour light fabrics.
Once back on board, the voyage takes you to the quaint island of Thirassia. Enjoy some time at your own pace, exploring its idyllic streets and scenic views. For those interested, a trip to Manolas via a traditional donkey ride or by navigating its spiralling staircases offers an authentic Greek experience.
