Daily trips are made by the media Gialos the old port of Fira to the volcanic islands of Palea and Nea Kameni. On this tour you should wear a light clothes, sneakers and bring along a bottle of water. The feeling begins as the boat to the craters of the volcano is unique as it approaches the islands that emerged from the bowels of the earth pulse multiplied.

The first stop of the boat is back on Palea Kameni where are the hot sulfur springs. Guests can swim at this point for 10-15 minutes. Of course, because the boat is not nearly have to swim about 100 meters until you reach the warm waters. We advise you to dare, approaching the color of the water becomes red and warm. Swimming in these waters is said to have medicinal properties but what will surely be impressed by the sense of very hot water and the smell. The refund will take you back to reality and the expectation for the visit to New Burnt grows.

After a short trip the boat will anchor in limenisko of Nea Kameni in a small wooden pier. On disembarkation you will be instructed to prevent any unpleasant surprises. There should be very close to the edges of craters and not inhale the dangerous gases. The volcanic scenery in coastal areas "breaks" from plants here and there make their appearance. It is striking that life finds a way to grow and continue even in such inhospitable places. As we go up to the crater of the scene changes.
After 20 to 25 minutes we reach the craters where it usually is an update on the creation of islands of eruption, but displayed some photos of the eruption and the earthquake of 1956. It is evident that the inhabitants of Santorini and Thirasia have learned to live with the volcano and not afraid at all. The crater in the middle of the gases seem to pour gives a striking picture, yet the phenomenon ensures peace of mind and fizzles pressure from the bowels of the earth. If you bend and touch the ground you will find that the temperature is high enough.

After the climb is the descent and boarding the boat to return to Santorini. Some may think it is better admired the volcano from the caldera of Santorini while others will seek to revisit the volcano more closely to feel these unusual feelings.
