Hiking Tours · VOLCANO HIKES IN GREECE
Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 volcano hikes in Greece justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get your boots by the door.
Walk nearly 10 kilometers from Fira through Firostefani and Imerovigli toward Oia with an English or Greek guide. Expect caldera views, Skaros Rock, chapels, a picnic of fruit and smoothie, uneven ground, and a sunset above Oia away from the main crowds.
“Wonderful tour! Lea was excellent guide and was very patient with us non hikers!”
Walk about 9.5 kilometers from Fira to Oia with a local English-speaking guide such as Kathrin, Agatha, Sandra, or Lily. Expect rocky ground, hills, photo stops, cave houses, blue domes, snacks, water, and useful history in a group capped at 12 people.
“Our guide Agatha was very knowledgable and attentive and it was great to learn more about the history of the area. Would highly recommend!”
You’ll cruise from Athinios with live commentary, visit Nea Kameni’s volcanic crater, swim near Palea Kameni, and spend time around Thirasia. The volcano walk is optional, the hot-spring stop needs a boat swim, and Thirasia access may change with port conditions.
“No nos brindaron el tour en español cuando así se contrató.”
Cruise Santorini’s caldera by private motorboat from Ammoudi with a small group of your own. Hike the volcano, swim at Palea Kameni, snorkel near Agios Nikolaos, and use onboard towels and gear. Dimitri and Captain Petros have earned warm praise, but choose the three-hour option for enough time ashore.
“It was a lovely cruise around the island. We enjoyed some swimming/snokelingl and then the natural Hot Springs near the volcano. It ended with a gorgeous sunset. Exactly what we needed. We particularly liked that it was a private tour for our family. We were not interested in a booze cruise, so this was perfect.”
