We reached the place as part of a tour which anchors near it and you have to swim across. We observed the sea with the different color tinges and the surrounding areas from the boat as the sea toward the beach and beach itself was overcrowded and we had a 30 minute halt here. Tips: 1. You need to dedicate... More

This was a sensational experience. The ship that sailed us from our cruise ship could only get in so far so you need to swim in. That part was awesome, getting to jump into the sea which was cool in temperature in comparison to the hot spring. The minerals that are found in the hot spring are supposed to be... More

My husband and I were eager to visit the hot springs but were told there were no tour companies that just visited the hot springs so we decided to do the combo volcano/hot springs tour for 20E from a tour company called Pelican in Fira. Unfortunately, there are no boats going before 11:00 which was surprising considering the hottest part... More

We were very sure to go to the island of Palea and Nea kameni during our 3 nights visit in Santorini-this May. We had communicated on email with the Triantafillou Sailing team and pre booked the trip. On reaching Oia, we confirmed our place on the boat a day in advance. We got picked from our hotel parking at Oia... More

See it if you have lots of time on your hands. If you swimm in the hot springs, bring a second bathing suit, because it will stain. Again, Nissiros Volcano is far better. More

Palea Kameni is actually one of the 2 volcanoes of Santorini and is located right at the middle of the caldera! It's older than Nea Kameni and there you can find the famous Hot Springs! I visited Santorini in summer 2007 and joined the trip "Caldera round trip". The little wooden boat stopped just outside the springs and we swam... More
