Great short boat ride around Santorini - I wanted to experience a short boat ride, and this tour was perfect. From Athinios port to Nea Kameni, about 30min boat ride. We walked to the top of the highest point of the island. Next, back on the boat, and to Palia Kameni island, where you can swim in warm ocean by volcanic heat. I didn't swim but about 50% of people were jumping in the ocean. During our visit to Santorini, Old Port was under construction. The tour offered us the car service from our hotel to Athinios Port and back.

Volcano and hot spring tour - Great volcano hike with a view. Fun hot springs (wasn’t that hot though). Seamless pick up. But the return was very annoying. The bus was late and our tour guide was of no help. In fact, she had moved on to the next tour. We called the company and they didn’t know which bus is picking us up or how long they would be. Couldn’t provide us with any information about the driver or bus that was theoretically on the way. And then they loaded us on the wrong bus.

3 hour boat with transfer - We did the 3 hour tour with transfer. Both ways the transfer was difficult, requiring calls to find driver. On the way there no one picked us up and after calling on what’s app they said they would ask the rental car company to take us 25 min late. Then the tour guide called asking us why we weren’t on the boat five min before departure, I guess it wasn’t communicated they didn’t pick us up on time. Then on return after we got off the boat we asked the tour guide where to find our transfer and she pointed to a parking lot with over 25 cars and said go ask each driver for your name…. Then we had to call the company again on what’s app asking where the driver was for 20 people they said they would send someone. Again 25 min late. I would suggest paying for your own taxi each way unless you want to deal with the hassle of this company’s transfers and calling each way.

Decent few hours trip - We had been before to the volcano, 11 years ago, but not to the hot springs. We were picked up and taken to the new port with no fuss and it was only a short sail on the pirate-ship like old wooden boat to the volcano island. Quite a hike to the top to the craters where there were a few odd coloured rocks, but no bubbling pools or sulphur. Then back to the boat to the springs, where we got off the boat and swam to the brown waters, which were barely luke warm. I swam in my tshirt so I didnt need to be lathered in sun cream and it completely changed colour - Im sure it will wash out though. A decent few hours trip, not expensive, just not that much to see or do.
