Santorini's most iconic volcanic islands are best explored in a caique, a traditional boat. All aboard, family!
As you sail, the local guide will explain the ancient history of Nea Kameni island: Does the legend of Atlantis, the sunken city, ring a bell?
As soon as you land, the adventure begins: You climb on foot toward the crater of its sleeping volcano, amid sulfur crystals, fumaroles, red and incredibly black rocks contrasting with the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
In this lunar landscape, the little ones will learn while having fun: With the help of an illustrated booklet, they'll attempt to recognize volcanic rocks and minerals, before going back on the water.
From the Caldera's cliffs, the caique will drop anchor on Palea Kameni, with its sea distinguished by reddish hues. Curious about it? It's because of the sulfur springs that flow from under the surface and blend in with the waters.
And if you want to try out a mud, iron, manganese and sulfur bath, just dive into these natural pools: 33° of pure well-being!
